Review summary

Overall it was great! They do need to bring back some of the fun activities. If they are going to have a mask mandate they should enforce it.

Cool bar and the Backyard Band was fantastic!

Onboard Activities

The deck parties are really fun. On sea days it was a little boring. They got rid of the Hairy Chest contest and some other activities,

Service and Staff

Marvin my cabin steward, Kimi and Maruta were all exceptional! Great customer service!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is beautiful and very clean. I didn’t like that people were not wearing mask in the indoor common areas and it wasn’t enforced.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was a lot bigger than I expected for an Oceanview room. The beds were a little small for a twin. The new refrigerator gets really cold which is wonderful.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

I didn’t do an excursion but Port Canaveral is beautiful,

Other guests complained about masks reminders. We found Princess had a more adult approach.
