Review summary

We had to jump thru hoops to get on this cruise only to be packed in like sardines. We hid in our room and wore a mask anytime we left our room. Yes, we now have covid. We will not be cruising anytime in the near future.

Embarkation

quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room had great staff and food, but slow due to staffing. Buffets were overcrowded and chaotic; food was average.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
We did not participate in activities due to overcrowding on ship.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We went to one show in theater daily. Shows were entertaining, performers good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff were all helpful, enthusiastic, and pleasant. However, they were obviously understaffed and working extremely hard.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship is older, but most areas where we did go were clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin was very comfortable with a little extra room in the cabin and the balcony. We were not sure what to expect of a junior suite compared to our usual balcony room choice.

Ship tip

Don't go right now. It was very overcrowded! We went out only to eat and go to a beach and one show per day. We wore masks anytime we were out of our room. We are fully vaccinated and healthy. We have covid now.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

4 out of 5
We did not go on an excursion. Smaller port is easier to get around.

King's Wharf, Bermuda

2 out of 5
Nothing to do unless you purchase an excursion. We went on a beach excursion, it was a beautiful beach.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda Did not visit port

it was the same as king's wharf, ship did not move overnight

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We went on a beach excursion. Took a long time for us to get on boat taxi; several people passed out in heat waiting. Beach was beautiful, difficult to swim due to huge rocks in water.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
No excursion, just visited. Absolutely beautiful, activities for everyone. Appreciated tram to get around, provided lunch, and provided chairs/umbrellas.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
slow process, as expected
