Review summary

I think the medallion needs some work. I liked that it allowed for easy access on and off the ship/ in and out of the room. But using it other than that took too much time and effort! Example: I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out how to upload photos! No directions that I could find. Same with making dinner reservations.

It was fine but because of the strike it took longer.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Hard to figure out this ship and I didn’t think the medallion was helpful. Sometimes you had to go up a flight and then go down. The cleanliness rates 5 stars! It was always immaculate!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

It ended up nicely because the strike came to an end. However it was a bit stressful to have to plan as if they wouldn’t be there. Many carried their luggage off themselves. Everyone that I chatted with was worried that we wouldn’t make our flights. Sad to have that stress on the last night.

I haven’t tried uploading photos to the medallion app but making reservations seemed straight forward and quick.
