Overall, it was nice to be able to go back on a cruise after Covid. Definitely lots of improvements. I truly enjoy going on cruises. At times, it feels like too many people and crowed especially the buffet, therefore I avoided going there. It would have been nice to experience fine dining that used to be included and select a time to enjoy it. So my sister who never been on a cruise before, didn’t get to go because of the additional costs.
Embarkation

It’s so much better than previous years. Also less waiting and standing. Definitely organized
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The only thing I wish they had drink lists for speciality drinks such as sex on beach, Bahama mama, etc. I like trying different cocktails but don’t know the names.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
Pools definitely needs improvements. Main pool, Too small and crowded because of all the kids jumping in and the adult pool way too small. Also, too deep for seniors or people who can’t swim or touch the bottom, so my sister never got to go in the pool. Hot tub, people had their kids in it, playing around. Didn’t like that adult hot tub was inside.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Fantastic! This is definitely one of the main reasons of coming on the cruises. The only thing is that the Star Lounge entertainment needs to be moved to the Theatre because it’s so popular, limited seating. Or add another time slot.
Children's Programs
We didn’t bring kids
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
They were well trained, always made us feel welcome with their bubbly personality.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The only downfall was the fact they still allow smoking on the 4th floor casino area which either have it closed off so smoke do not go to other areas or do not allow smoking on board period, except in closed designated areas.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Roy sure kept our room cleaned and assisted us if we needed anything.
Ship tip
A fantastic cruise for the shows and entertainment, however not so good if you like to hang out in the pools.
It was not as organized as it was getting on the cruise. It should be mandatory to put your luggages outside your room with allowing more time to do so. Like 1 am. We didn’t read the paper until after it was too late. Therefore, the elevators took so long because people all had their luggages. To board off the ship, the time slots like we got to select to board, it would have been nice if we had the opportunity to pick the time slot that works for us.
Appreciate your detailed feedback. Hope your sister has become addicted to cruising in spite of not getting the full pampering experience. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
