Review summary

Was very relaxed but shows had to be cancelled and shortened due to covid restrictions and lots of rain while on this trip.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

So easy and great help with my mother, they used a wheel chair to help her get onboard and very patient.

Main Dining Room

Great food

Sorrento's Pizza

5 out of 5

Any time!! So good at midnight pizza and cookies before bed.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Lots for young people to do, not so much for the quieter crowd.

Casino Royale

3 out of 5

Mostly all penny machines which = 50¢ and up per pull. Very few quarter or $1 machines.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I honestly think the reason the shows were less than what RC is known for is because of the Covid

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

King size beds and nice pillows are a plus

Ship tip

For smokers, there is an area on deck 4 with chairs as well as deck 11. Smokers areas are much larger and nicer than the ones on carnival in my experience.

The dock is currently under construction and will soon be larger. And check online to see what's open before setting an idea of activities.
