Review summary

After not being able to travel due to covid, this trip was our 1st travel experience in 2 years. It was a very nice cruise, visiting ports we had never been to. We were very impressed by the ship's crew and the outstanding entertainment. The cruise director and his staff did a great job with activities that were fun. A few reported crew COVID cases but it did not impact cruise. Captain kept us regularly informed. Overall a very enjoyable cruise.

Ship was clean. Lawn club on upper deck seemed like a waste of space - never saw it being used as it was expensive

Cabin was very clean and well maintained by an outstanding room steward Leonardo

Not a Nassau fan - very disappointed that the ship needed to cancel the grand cayman stop and substitute Nassau - Did a snorkeling excursion - was just OK as it was very windy
