Review summary

After not cruising since Nov. 2019, this was an awesome cruise. Actually this was our last ship in 2019 and first in 2021. Everything was perfect.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was the fastest smoothest we've EVER experienced. From car to Lido, 20 minutes!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food and drinks were amazing. Breakfast in the main dining room was the best and the service couldn't be any better.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Tons of Halloween activities. From costume contest to pumpkin carving to scavenger hunts!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Awesome shows!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I travel with someone that has difficulty walking, and the staff couldn't help us more. From getting us tables near the entrance to the restaurants, to helping with the chair, etc. KUDOS to the staff!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Second time on this ship, and we LOVE the layout and cleanliness.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was an ambulatory cabin. The layout and space was perfect for my friend's walker. The bathroom comes with a shower bench. If I had anything to say about the cabin,, it would be, that it would be perfect, if it didn't have the step up to the bathroom, especially for someone with walking issues.

Ship tip

Go and ENJOY!!!

Disembarkation

It couldn't be better or faster, especially now with the facial recognition. From cabin to luggage area, less than 10 minutes!

It's fitting that your first cruise back after the shutdown is the same ship you last cruised on. Glad it was a wonderful cruise for you.
