Review summary

I had waited a long time for this particular ship and cruise and had talked another guest to join and it was just average. They did not really enjoy it.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Specialty dining and main dining rooms were great. Buffets were ok, not a large enough variety of foods. Not everyone likes every cuisine. I am African-American and there was no dishes from my culture. The Seadog dining was limited to about 4 hours per day and I know people can eat hotdogs all day long. Drink stations closed to early. Watched Dine-In movies and needed something to drink and the only station open is on the back of the ship. WHY? Also, now charging for popcorn?

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I rode the Bolt (excellent), pools, water slides, put-put.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Enjoyed these activities.

Children's Programs

No children with me.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff and Service was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship design was good, but cabins and bathrooms were to small for the size of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin Stewart was great and kept cabin clean and responded quickly with any requests we had.

Ship tip

If more than 3-4 people, either get 2 cabins or a Suite.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. Cruises aren't for everyone, but at least the guests you invited gave it a try. Since cruising is restarting after a long hiatus, it's going to take them a little time to get back to pre-covid standards in terms of food variety and staffing for entertainment/shows. I'm grateful to be cruising again.
