First cruise for us after the March 2020 lockdown. Was good to get back on the water and recharge the life batteries.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Crowded. Hot. Challenging.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
MDR seemed rushed. Dined at Lido Buffet 3 nights...same entrees as MDR menu with no waiting for service. Food, overall, seemed underseasoned and below expectations and prior experiences.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
did nothing other than sleep, eat, & drink - not in that order. spent most of our time lounging, people watching, and indulging in a bit of trivia play.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Main stage had a mechanical failure causing the 1st performance to be significantly modified and the 2nd to be cancelled. Comedy club performers - he was a 4/5; she was a 2/5 - just not funny at all.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The crew is either new or rusty; however, the attitude and effort was there and we had no real complaints.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
sanitation protocols have been elevated. the ship, overall, was in good shape
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
A sideways room. Exceptional use of space. Shower seemed smaller than on other ships in the fleet. Mattresses are showing age and had a significant lack of support.
Ship tip
Patience. Slow your pace. Don't rush or try to "do it all".
Docked at Terminal B on this voyage. Once you clear the ship's gangway (normal crush of people and pinch points), the exit to the outside is seamless and near perfect.
