Review summary

I covered everything in detail previously I don't believe that it is necessary to repeat.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I was disappointed to say the least, The dinner served in the dinning room was not like in the past, I received one little broccoli floret and about a soup spoon of risotto, the salmon potion was also small. I can see that it is necessary for you to down size a little due to covid but I think this is not the direction.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I work out every morning and the gym was also a disappointment, Only three of the treadmills worked, the remainder (approximately 8) the belts were so worn that there were holes in them. The cruise industry was closed for nearly a year I would think that time period would have been adequate for the previous maintenance.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Everything was excellent with the exception of the Asian female at the main bar in the lobby. I have had a negative experience with her at the same location on a previous cruise. She was extremely rude serving several people that had arrived after me, this time she kept advising people to put on their masks while they were drinking. I am aware of covid but I did not need to practice that at the table next to the bar or at dinner (must be consistent).

Ship tip

The ship needs repairs, the Lido deck has places where the rubber fabric is pealing up, other places have patches but the rust is bubbling up underneath. I would not discourage anyone from going but I might advise them to pick another ship in the fleet.
