Review summary

A lovely time with no crowds or lines! Nice shows & yummy food.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Showing passport, vaccination card, negative COVID-19 test, and boarding pass multiple times was a lot to juggle in my hands but employees were friendly and the lines/waiting was short.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

MDR food was mostly excellent. We did not enjoy the food at Samba Grill. Izumi hibachi and sushi were phenomenal!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the hot tub near the solarium, the zip line, ice skating, the carousel, mini golf, spa, and the fitness center.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The diving show and Mama Mia were fantastic!! The ice show and other entertainers were just okay. Some of the jokes and routines of the entertainers were really dated and not funny.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Service was okay. I was seated in the corner and left alone at coastal kitchen during breakfast one morning. Poor service at the hotdog house. Room steward left a dirty rag on our floor (but he was otherwise lovely all week). Servers in coastal kitchen and MDR were slow moving and often didn’t check on us for long periods of time. Drinks were not refilled quickly and we had to ask multiple times during the week for bread and Splenda for our coffee or tea. Service in the specialty restaurants was excellent.
