This was an unforgettable cruise! Our first cruise of many back from the pandemic cruise shutdown. We had so many special moments and happy memories.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick and easy!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was hit or miss. It was the first cruise back with new crew so there were some hiccups. Overall, it was good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The selection of activities was good and made better by the fact that we were at limited capacity. The entertainment onboard was great! We also had special touches this cruise such as the Morning Show with John Heald and Calvin Martens. We also enjoyed having Christine Duffy onboard and watching her interview with John Heald. The Groove for St. Jude event was very special this cruise as well as they auctioned special autographed items.

Service and Staff

Despite having a new crew onboard, they worked hard to make our cruise wonderful. They were all happy to welcome us back and to be back themselves.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an obstructed oceanview cabin on Deck 3 and it was perfect! Just steps from the Lobby and still had a decent view out of the window. We loved it!

This was our first time trying the facial recognition technology. It made the disembarkation process so quick and easy! No documents to show!

Glad you enjoyed that first cruise back. Some things have gotten better since the restart, others not so much.
