Review summary

For a large ship with 4,000 or more folks on board, they managed the crowds. I think Wi-Fi/internet is overpriced and should be included in your package when purchased. It was very costly per day. With COVID resurfacing testing needs to be started again. I paid gratitudes in advance and did not like to tip drink waiters over and above as Cheers package was very pricey. Would have liked more food options in Lido.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Yes, areas were clean and saw personnel cleaning around ship. We did come home on last day with a virus (not COVID or flu) Saw some folks on board coughing & sneezing. Screening prior to boarding would be my recommendation. Three people in our party came home with COVID after debarking the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom
