Review summary

We love cruising but wearing the masks in corridors and open areas when you have asthma is hard. Wish the whole ship was vaccinated restricted so we could get rid of masks.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy and fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Loved the specialty restaurants after spending 2 nights in main dining room surrounded by large groups with small unvaccinated children. The Windjammer was easy to navigate and everything is served to you. Tables continuously being cleaned and have signs on them stating cleaned or not cleaned yet.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable bed. We now realize our mattress at home has to go. Steward did wonderful job. We love a balcony room.

Ship tip

Get early dinner reservations to be able to make the shows.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Orlando was our embarkation port and we live fairly close so we love it. Plenty to do in Orlando.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas Did not visit port

Not beach people and too many kids.

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

Been there too many times.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We left with our own luggage and it was very easy and fast. Home in 2 hours.
