Entertainment

4 out of 5

Grand Central entertainment was great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

As always, waiters and stewards were happy to serve. Casino staff was exceptional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Huge ship. New design. Only the 5th cruise for this ship. Everything was clean and shiny.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was somewhat narrower than on previous ships.

Ship tip

The ship was only about 50-60% full due to pandemic and mask mandates. There was no waiting ever. Could be a different story if the ship sails at full capacity.
