Review summary

Overall the cruise was great. Dinner in the MDR are lacking a bit. Missing a bit of flavor and seasoning. They did provide us he option to eat at Cucina del Capitan, Guys pig and anchor and Chibang for no extra fee. The Italian was not very good but the Chibang was phenomenal. And the pig and anchor was off the charts for dinner. Street Eats, Guys burger and Shacks chicken were very good too. Pizza good as always and the buffet was hit or miss.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Happy to be cruising again. Today we will depart on the Mardi Gras. Super excited. I must say the folks at the check in terminal need to get on the same page. Too much confusion. They want your VeriFLY pulled up. Yet still want you present your negative Covid and shots. So why have the app? Folks are already nervous and anxious about the cruise and their documentation. No need to add another layer of stress. Nice they divided us by arrival appointment lines. But then they allowed all the lines to enter at the same time. Makes sense right? No it does not. Lol. Anyways. I'll just sit back, relax and cruize!!!

Large variety of different street eats.

Onboard Activities

On board coaster looks like it will be a blast.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedians have been a blast. Most of them are off the cuff and interact with the crowd making the entertainment more personable. The musical on first night was ok. The second one was better. This cruise had a magical show called “M-Theory”. It was absolutely amazing. I’ve never witnessed anything this cool in my life. By the way I played a minor part in the show. This made it even more mysteriously interesting.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
These guys kick ass. They work their butts off and always have a smile on their faces. I can’t compliment them enough.

Disembarkation

So far I like it. The have the platinum guest meet at the rally point. As we arrived we dropped of our bags in arrival order. We were then taken to a seating area and placed in numerical order of our arrival. Seems fair. Hope the plan stays as planned.
