Review summary

We had a wonderful time on a wonderful and beautiful ship but did come home very sick. One of us had Covid and the other RSV. So mask up on those elevators cuz you are packed in tight and everyone is coughing…. Other than getting sick, it was great and we will repeat this cruise just not during the winter months when germs are so readily flowing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

On the ship within 5 minutes. Easiest embarkation ever.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Restaurants were hit or miss. Some meals great, others fair, while others especially breakfast, not good at all.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Activities were plentiful and catered to an adult group. It was nice to not have a ton of kids running around as this ship really is not conducive to bringing young children.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Entertainment was fabulous

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone on the ship was of the highest level for professionalism.

Ship Quality

Ship is absolutely beautiful

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I know some people dont like the infinite Veranda and I can understand their reasons but we loved ours and would book one again.

Ship tip

Bring meds. Everyone was coughing and sick and ultimately you will be too. Have what you need so you aren’t going to the medical deck.

Good advice. We mask in all crowded areas, not just elevators, and take every possible medication I can think of for anything that might happen! Saved us numerous times.
