The room steward whose name was Samsuil was excellent. He kept the room very clean, the ice bucket always had ice in it.

Different with covid, not as fun as it use to be before covid

It was a great cruise overall. MDR food was not as good as before and compared to the sunrise which I had just been on 3 weeks before this. Comedy shows we’re funny and I appreciate that the family shows are at 8&9 so we could make them after dinner.

Thank goodness we could cruise again
