Review summary

Beautiful, but under staffed cruise. Last cruise for me

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Was glad to be on such a large ship with the rough waters.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The sin of gluttony is obviously a challenge, but so much more on this ship. So many food choices included in base price.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Didn't care for any of the musicals at Center Stage, especially after having to get there so early to get a seat. Very talented folks, but I found every production boring after 10 or 15 minutes. Songs were too long.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Management put them in a bad place, allowing such a large crowd to be served by such a limited size crew.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Incredible in every way.

Ship tip

Be patient and treat staff with kindness. under-staffing is not their fault.

This app and my phone don't work well together. My summary statement was "Beautiful but understaffed cruise. This will be my last cruise where I have to wear a mask." It cut off my last few words and I couldn't figure out how to go back and edit after I saw it,
