Review summary

Overall felt safe on the ship, never crowded. Never waited more than a minute for an elevator if that tells you anything.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Took 2.5 hours to get aboard the ship. They checked our docs about 10 times each. Employees escorted us from place to place so we were never left to wander on our own which was good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Friendliest I've ever seen staff as a whole. Almost to the point of being overly friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was spotless and they were constantly cleaning

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Have patience for check in, especially if traveling with unvaxxed children. The PCR test takes 30-40 minutes at check in.

Thumbs up

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Fastest I've ever gotten off a ship. Literally didn't wait in any line. Walked right to the gangway, off the ship, through customs, and out to our car. Probably 5 minutes from our cabin to our car.
