Review summary

It was great to cruise post the lockdown I work in healthcare and it was super appreciated to be waited on given how exhausting work has been during COViD times

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth lines separating different entry times for the ship and for various tasks— 1 for vaccine card 2 for passport 3 for negative COViD test required to get on the ship
