Yes all, I went to a spinning class last night and that cleared the rocking feeling straight away- weird, never had it before. I never felt sick though.

Yes earplugs are a must. I usually have foam ones, but first night these seemed to amplify the resonance of the engines. Mrs YT has those Boots Muffles wax ones (we are both light sleepers lol) and I borrowed a pair of them for night 2, which did the trick. Unfortunately the bed was swaying night 2. I’ll make sure I’m in the middle of the ship next time.
I don’t buy merchandise but the selection was really poor- I think they struggled to restock the best stuff.
The cruise itself was fantastic and food, service and shows are what makes it. The ship is also really nice with Art Deco styling which you don’t really appreciate from videos.
