Review summary

After starting off very rocky, we had to salvage what we could

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Well first all the staff was not consistent with the covid procedures. My husband had a confrontation with on of the staff and he ask to see the manager but that didnt happen. My duaghter and grandson were not able to come on the ship. I was emotionally a wreck after that.

Kelly on the 9th floor was great. He was always present when I needed something. I couldnt of ask for anything better than him

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean. It was better with less people

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an extended Balcony but it didnt seem extended. If I did have the other two that was suppose to come they would have to sleep on the old sofa bed on the floor that blocked the door when trying to get out.

Wonder if you were the family beside us checking in. The boy didn't have his vaccination card dated or something.

Why couldn't they board? Why did your husband need to see a manager? More details would be helpful
