Review summary

Although post Covid embarkation is supposed to be show up at assigned times I saw no difference between post and pre covid

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Ate in the main dining room 2 nights and was terribly disappointing both meals small and not good ( maybe the worst I’ve had on a cruise). We did however enjoy the steakhouse very much ( 3 nights) definitely worth it. Also enjoyed teppanyaki very much. Seafood shack very good Guys Burgers very good but usually a very long line

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Liked there are 2 pools so doesn’t seem as crowded. Spa was disappointing

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Had a spa balcony room was ok but have been on other ships where the spa room was a bit nicer than a regular room this was just a regular room. Also disappointing was the actual spa. Much smaller than expected and not quite the relaxing atmosphere I was hoping for
