Review summary

Honestly I miss Covid cruising without the crowds šŸ˜‚, but I enjoyed my trip.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We had a later boarding time of 12:00 so we managed to miss the line of the ā€œI wanna be firstā€ people thankfully. I chose a later boarding time to avoid that and having to sit in the terminal for over an hour waiting to board. This terminal is unlike any other of the several I have been to, but thankfully went smoothly and quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I want to be fair but I think Iā€™m just burnt out on cruise food and the same ol same ol each cruise. I did like the variety of the options of places to eat. Bonsai sushi was a hit!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Although I didnā€™t do much there was always something going on! I did play (and lose) bingo and a whole bunch of money in the casino! Beware the slots are TIGHT!! My husband did win a little though.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The dining room staff was the best!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Easy to navigate layout, but she could use some TLC.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
This was my first time staying on deck 1. The size was great we had 2 people in 1 room and 3 next door in a conjoining room. It was quiet and easy to get to the lido (buffet) from the AFT elevators. My only complaints are there was mold in the shower and the sink had terrible pressure.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Half Moon Cay is my favorite port to visit. The weather was bad so we wasnā€™t able to spend much time there but I enjoyed the time we had.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy, but again the terminal is weird! This was my first cruise I didnā€™t have to go though customs to get off the ship. I assume itā€™s because we only went to half moon cay.
