Review summary

We enjoyed this cruise very much in spite of Covid protocol. The fact that there was only about 400 passengers was nice but it lacked some of the excitement that we have always enjoyed on previous cruises

Onboard Activities

the pools were excellent. did not go to the fitness center. In the bars there was no snacks such as peanuts. It would be nice if we could have had something with our wine.

the shows were too late for us. Every other cruise we have been on had an early and late show.

Wow!! 400 people only!? For a ship that can hold 3,000 to 4,000 people. Just wondering way there was so few people on board... The cruise lines can't exist for much longer with so few people. Maybe it's time to welcome back the unvaccinated as well! A couple of weeks ago there was a Carnival Cruise line that had 27 Covid-19 cases plus how many more with symptoms that were not announced. Keep in mind that the ship is fully vaccinated and yes they can spread Covid-19 just as well as the unvaccinated. Can't blame this one on the unvaccinated.
