Review summary

We had a great time, love the long port times and easy embarkation/debarkation. This was a more laid back atmosphere.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Seamless, make sure to check in on the app so you get expedited boarding.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main dining room served large portions which for me meant more waste. All chicken meals were great and breakfast was good. Chops was terrible but our waiter was top notch. Jaimes Italian was very good and again great wait staff. We avoided the buffet due to the covid-19 virus. Johnnie Rockets was ok.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Spectras cabaret was awesome. We will rock you was too long, ended up leaving half hour early. Bingo was fun. We loved the north star. Did I fly and that is harder then it looks and we both had sore calf muscles for days lol but worth the experience. It was a little too cold to do the outside pools but the indoor pool was great. The adults only solarium was very nice but always full and the pools are too shallow at only 2.5 feet deep.

Entertainment

Shows were way too long but Spectras cabaret was great

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Main dining room service was very slow, the servers were nice but not always very engaging. The other staff on the ship seemed bored and disinterested.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and beautiful ship. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable, if not for the bed it would have been perfect

Cabin / Stateroom
