This was a unique cruise since it was so empty due to capacity limitations, which made everything so much nicer. The staff was friendly and helpful as usual, everything was clean, and shows were great. Our one big complaint was the lack of character meet and greets and no Sailaway Party. It didn't make sense that they didn't do the Sailaway Party since they did the Mouse-querade Party on the 3rd night. Also, the princesses were almost never to be seen. You had to be in the right place at the right time because they didn't announce it. Anna and Elsa never showed up which was so disappointing for my 5 year old.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was fast and easy. We did have to wait about 20 minutes for the rapid tests to come back, but other than that, everything was extremely smooth and well-executed.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food was good, but I wish access to allergy friendly foods was better. They were always happy to accommodate us, but we had to wait longer for the specialty food. It would be great if they had some already prepared food, since a lot of kids these days do have food allergies.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The activities that were available were awesome, but we sorely missed the Sailaway Party, and wished there were more characters to meet and greet. The characters who walked through the restaurants literally RAN through and not one of them saw my daughter at all, which is difficult to explain to a 5 year old. They at least could've walked slowly and waved to each child, even if they didn't want to get close.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Shows were excellent as always.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All of our waiters, room attendants, and other staff were absolutely amazing. Disney has the best staff. We couldn't have asked for kinder, more attentive staff on the ship.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was well cleaned and maintained as always.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our cabin was very clean and well-sized. We always stay on the 6th floor because we're so happy with the location.
The excursions on Castaway Cay are very limited right now, but the island itself was practically empty due to the limited capacity of the ship. That was a nice change from the usual atmosphere of people everywhere.
