Review summary

Overall we enjoyed it, but it felt like something was missing compared to our cruise with Princess. Not sure if this is just part of the post- covid cruising experience though.

Tuscan Grille

We loved Tuscan Grill! It is in the top two steakhouses we have eaten at on a cruise ship!

Onboard Activities

The pools were really nice but because it was only a five day we didn’t utilize everything

Entertainment

Topper was one of the best shows we’ve seen at sea! The comedian was great and Jason Lyle Black was Amazing!

We have always enjoyed this port but sadly Seven Mile beach is getting smaller and smaller with weather changes.

Overall fun, but disappointing for a Holiday cruise

Great Family Time...Service "Just Okay"

Cruise was great, food excellent , cabin as expected. Ac too cold could not wear summer outfits. Piano player should not be missed . Saw him twice and worth it both times. Shows were less impressive, most disappointing was no high tea and no lectures .
