Lots of changes but mostly for the positive. Love the new muster, don’t like to scavenger hunt my VIFP gifts.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
This was one of the smoothest embarkations I’ve had. The line was moving quickly, we walked right onto the ship after getting checked in. Masks were required in the terminal but could be removed as soon as we got onboard.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food was good, just the same old faves. Brunch was really good but service was slow. They may be getting back into the groove.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Most of the staff was amazingly friendly and went out of the way to help. Our steward Edwin greeted us by name every chance he got and constantly asked if we needed anything. I know that’s his job but it’s the little things that bring a smile.
However the casino waitstaff was severely short handed! IF I received the drink I ordered, I’d wait 20-30 minutes to get it.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
There was a lot of cleaning going on all the time, high touch areas (handles, railing, etc) were being wiped down often. Half the casino was supposed to be no smoking but it wasn’t being enforced. The Casino Annex was decent.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
The cabin was a nice size but the constant hum and rumble of the engines is distracting. And it was HOT! We brought a fan but it just circulated hot air around.
Disembarkation
5 out of 5
AMAZING! With the Smile and Go technology, your picture is taken in lieu of standing in line for a customs agent to review your passport and ask a bunch of questions. From when we started leaving the ship to getting to our car was about 20 minutes, including a shuttle ride!
@betnat The cabin was on deck 2 at the very back of the ship. Going in, I knew there’s be some engine noise but didn’t realize it would be as bad as it was especially docking.
So lucky! Glad you had fun. Maybe the slow service was because some of the workers got put on cleaning duty. Agreed about the 50% non-smoking casino. Even if smokers stayed on their own side, the smoke can't.
