Great things listed above-really a 5 start experience-the only things I would have changed would have been the applause when you walk into the dining room as we are a little shy by nature and it was uncomfortable for us, though others may love that-and the MDR waitress perhaps could stop asking us to give her a '10' rating everytime she brought us something or visited the table. But really-best cruise ever and it felt super safe

Entertainment

I only went to the first night of the comedy show and did not think either comedian was funny at all-so I did not attend any other of their shows. I did not attend any other production shows.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Service was 5 starts everywhere except the Main Dining Room. The server kept asking us to make sure and give her a '10' for a rating after the cruise and did this several times each night. On the third night we chose not to go to the MDR so we could have a peaceful dinner elsewhere.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Great cabin-VERY comfortable beds-super clean
The only thing that was a little icky was on the balcony-there was a purple film on the glass so you couldn't really see the water unless you stood up on the balcony-and under the railing there was dried glue that had dripped down 6 inches or so all across the glass. Not a super big deal-just something that could have been fixed by maintenance perhaps. LOVED the cabin though and the steward was absolutely perfect!
Ship tip
Embarkation took 10 minutes at most-a few people in line initially with us but distanced, masked, vaccinated and had tested negative within 2 days of sailing-didn't concern me:) All other places we were not near anyone at all, unless we wanted to be, like one afternoon in the pool-but still, groups, families etc kept there space
Have to check out South Beach's lifeguard stations and beautiful Art Deco buildings along Ocean Drive-if you are staying the night before the cruise-try to get to the beach for the sunrise
We had a 5 star experience in this port-but the stores/straw market/just about everything were closed if that is what you are going for-looked like many folks booked an excursion to Blue Lagoon but we went to the perfect 'dive bar' on the water at Junkanoo Beach-Tiki Bikini Hut-with reasonably priced lounge chairs and umbrellas-all looked like they had been through it-didn't match-had some rips etc-but that added to the charm! Service was outstanding and good native dishes such as conch choices and jerk choices-just loved it!
