Review summary
This one was pretty good, nothing felt lacking from pre-pandemic experiences. Of course, the masks continue to be a nuisance; but you have to go with flow. They said this cruise had the largest capacity yet. 3,900 were booked and 3,500 showed up. Many kids and a whole bunch of teenagers on this one. Still, I have to think there weren't more than 30 diners in the MDR when the staff sang their "good-bye" song. This just doesn't feel right. Also, the waiter reminded us that the low occupancy really cuts back on the gratuity disbursement. It's easy to forget that's a major part of their paycheck. Erin was on temporary assignment as the cruise director; but I really liked her. It was sweet how she connected with the kids on the ship and I've never seen that in a cruise director. Another surprise was Captain Isadore. One of the happiest Captains I have ever come across. Diamond cruiser warning, if you think you're gonna get the long timer award; 1000+ cruiser Joe is camped out on the Breeze and says he's going to be here awhile. I saw comedian Jeff Arcuri for the first time. He's the best ship comedian that I have seen in years. The bad? Tea time was a mess. I've never seen so many guests take advantage of it and the waitstaff was overwhelmed. Many tables went unserved and it appears the staff retreated off somewhere.Embarkation

Ship tip
For me, Galvet cool weather sailings are always a bit rough. It's nice not to be baking in the Yucatan, but only the bold spend the first and last days on deck
