Review summary

The cruise ship was beautiful, and the staff works very hard and they go out of there way to satisfy us. But they should be more alert to Covid-19 and clean up after each used casino machine and gym machines. I believe I caught Covid-19 from using the gym machine or the casino machines.

The venue, food and waiters were amazing, friendly and fast.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The pool was over crowded, the windjammer was over crowded. All the shows were booked so I only was able to see Greece!

Casino Royale

1 out of 5

I couldn't enjoy my self due to all the smoking. Also they should have staff cleaning or wiping down the slot machines. I believe I caught Covid-19 from using the slot machines.

Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center

2 out of 5

The gym was super packed with people exercising. I never saw a staff cleaning the machines after it being used. I believe I caught Covid-19 from using sweaty and dirty weigh machines.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I could only see Greece and the performance was amazing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The room steward and waiters were amazing and friendly!

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

It wasn’t what I expected, for being a large cruise they didn’t have billiards and a store to buy essentials in case you ran out ! I didn’t see any staff cleaning areas that had a lot of traffic, like the gym. I believe I caught Covid from using the gym!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabins were very spacious and clean, it was very comfortable.

Ship tip

Be super careful with Covid, I would carry around with cleaning wipes, especially wipe down the exercise machine before using them and the casino machine before using them!
