Review summary

Was an Ok cruise but got Covid while onboard. Only had around 1300 passengers for a ship that holds around 4200. No bands by the pools...first time that has happened. Food and entertainment was less than expected.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Lack of passengers making Embarkation easier.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was not up to par with pass cruises.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

First time that there was no band at the pool side. Other entertainment was subpar.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Only one comedian. One band...just a lack of activities due to Covid problems.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Staff was great but seemed short staffed. We met the Serenade of the Seas twice in seven days. Believe some infected staff left and maybe some healed folks boarded. Was told the Serenade is one of three RCCL ships being used to house Covid infected RCCL crew.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship is past due for upgrading...was cancelled because of the Covid outbreak. Crew does a good job keeping it sanitized.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Good size room and balcony. Steward was great.
