Review summary

This is my fourth cruise post Covid (NCL, MSC and RCL) and things are not back to what they used to be or maybe it's the way it's going to be. The extra charges for everything is just too much.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very easy!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Just ok. Buffet tended to be the same things over and over

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Indoor pool area extremely crowded due to weather on days 1 and 7. Kids did the rock wall once and bumper cars a few times. Could use more for kids to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Shows were excellent

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Not like the old days of cruising. Saw the room steward once a day for a brief minute. Passed ship personnel constantly that did not speak to us. Officers always acknowledged us.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship was clean and well maintained. Certain areas were very crowded at all times. Newer ships are designed to not feel as crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Initially had a inside but upgraded to Oceanview. Good size, comfortable.
