Review summary

I must thank the staff at the main desk. They we very supportive, since they lost our luggage. It never did show up. They even sent pictures of the bag to the port for a search. Made the best of a bad situation. Will be booking again.

Embarkation

Beautiful Saturday morning to get on a cruise ship. Took the shuttle from the hotel with a jovial load of cruisers. line uo sent smooth, we were greeted with smiles and once we got into the terminal and checked in we were on board in about 20 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The buffet is as usual the buffet. you can get many different foods, some cold, some hot, some warm that should be cold, some cold that should be hot. After the first strip, you can figure it out. MDR were good, service was quite good, food was good. Not over the top, but as expected, with so many on board the median standard was met. Specialty places, rating them up a few notches as the kitchens are quicker to react .

Entertainment

Show in the theater were great. Rock Opera is a must see. All entertainers were quite good, some great dancing and some great fun in various venues.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Since the last cruise prior to Covid, there seems to be less staff. Try as they do they can't keep up to the demands of the customers. The level of service we received from staff was great though. never once did we run into rude staff or any indifference to the customer. Our steward was most helpful in arranging laundry and upping his service level, since it WAS the ships fault my luggage went missing.

Ship Quality

Great ship, Clean and well taken care of.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Small cabin, inside unit. Very small, bed was great, room always clean

Ship tip

From this day forward I would encourage everyone to get Air Tags. Look for ways to go forward or to the stern for elevators. Main bank very busy and very slow.
