Review summary

Beautiful new ship! The staff are so grateful to be back to work. Right now they are not allowed off the ship, consider nice toiletries or candies along with monetary gifts!

Smooth!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Most specialty restaurant's were complimentary... they were good, but quantity was minimal, so if you have to pay and have a small appetite....

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

So much to do, so little time.

Entertainment

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin is right in front of laundry, sounded like a waterfall in the wall, along with the rumbling of the spin cycle or driers.

Ship tip

On port days, if you want an elevator going up, jump on one going down... it's quicker!

Thanks for the clarification. On my small phone screen candies and candles look almost the same.

That was a great comment about the crew not being able to get off. Didnt know that. We always give our room steward extra all throughout the cruise.

Glad it went well. Are crew members allowed to have candles on board? I have always been told they were prohibited and would be confiscated if found?
