Review summary

Had a great time. Ports of call were very hot in July. Food was great especially the Italian restaurant. The pizza station at night was great after leaving the casino.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Cedar Grove parking lot needs to have better shelter and water available. Due to the heat it was hard on the older people.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Question: Why was it that our rooms were only cleaned once a day. The room steward was very good and very polite. Always asking if we needed anything.

Needed more staff especially in the casino at night.

Just to correct some folks. They started the one service per day prior to the pandemic.

Glad you had a great cruise! And yes, post pandemic staffing levels seem to be reduced, so to ease the load the rooms are cleaned just once per day. Seems to be the new norm on some other lines as well.

Not that you will see this, but reduced staff, more rooms per staff, less time in each room.
