Review summary

Very relaxing cruise! The ship was beautiful, service exceptional. Bimini was just ok-mostly due to the rough ocean conditions that day. Half moon key is always great, Amber Cove was the highlight.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was slightly confusing going in, depending on which way you were walking. But once we figured it out, it was the fastest embarkation we ever had. Once they stamp your boarding pass twice- once for a symptom check, then for a passport, vaccine and negative test check.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The service was stellar wherever I went. We had the steakhouse for dinner on my birthday, and that was wonderful! I had a filet mignon and it was tasty, as well as the art at your table desert.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I did the sky ride and the slides. Very fun and no waiting! Just be careful on the tube slide- I bumped my head on the way down.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The One Night Only show was the best! I thought it was so cool how they got all the lounge singers, including the violinist together, singing their greatest songs. The violin trio playing in the atrium were outstanding too!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Like I said, the service was better than ever!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was always very clean and sanitary. They even have tissues in the bathroom to use on the door when you leave to protect your clean hands. I just wish the soot in the Havana pool area could be cleaned off the glass more often.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beautiful cabin! Lots of vertical storage. I will say at first, the bed seemed harder than before, the sheets not quite as soft. I got used to it super fast though. Nothing like being rocked to sleep. :) I think maybe the sheets are like that at first because they have to be washed and bleached in such hot water? I am probably too spoiled with my soft sheets and mattress at home, lol.

Ship tip

If you stay in the Havana section, the cruise becomes much more adult oriented, relaxing. Less of the party feel on the top decks.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Disembarkation

Very easy! You don’t even have to get your passport out to show, because of facial recognition.

Enjoyed reading your review! Sounds like it was a great trip! I've been on 2 ships since the restart and have also noticed the beds seem harder than before. Ours on Mardi Gras was really hard. I wonder if they switched to a different vendor for their mattresses?
