Review summary

It was disappointing. One of the three shore days was cancelled. In addition, one of the nightly shows was also cancelled. Considering that it was only a 4 night cruise, it became even more expensive without the promised entertainment. If this had been our first cruise, I would probably not do it again.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Things are different now, but, we are noticing the same on land vacations as well.

Thanks for the review. Cruising is not the same as it was prior to Covid.

One set of stains, wonder what was wrong with the rest of the ship?
