Review summary

We had a great time. Cruise was so much fun. Around day 5 we felt really back so got tested for covid and were positive. This sailing had a lot of covid on board. There was a lot of talk about it in facebook group. Not many people got tested while on the ship but were walking around sick saying it was allergies. If more people would of tested it should of made it not so bad. Overall we still had a good cruise and have another one booked.

Embarkation

This was the most traffic I have had to deal with at the port. The Dream and the Vista were in port.

Always very good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We hit the pools, hot tubs, casino. Only thing really missing that would help the experience on this ship is if there was a red frog pub. I dont feel they need that big art gallery on board. Even when they do the art auction they do it in the club area.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was excellent across the board. We even had dinner service at the MDR a couple times are were were done in less than an hour and did not feel rushed at all. They were just very quick at bringing or food out to us and it tasted great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean. I always say someone cleaning and wiping down touch points. Just with there was a red frog pub.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a aft balcony room and it was great and very clean. Actually had a lot of room in it too.

Ship tip

Make sure to get a water shuttle ticket to go to half moon cay and get to half moon cay early to get a good spot and avoid a long waiting getting off the ship.
