Review summary

Nice cruise but I wish it had been longer. More entertainment should be added to the smaller ships instead of having them only on the bigger ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Different - however it went very smoothly with all the information we had to provide to show proof about COVID. Everyone was super helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I have had better food. The prime beef on the first night was very fatty. I didn't even eat it. The drinks are overpriced. It's crazy to pay nearly $600. for 2 people for the entire cruise just for drinks f we bought the drink package.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We visited and used the pool and walked around and saw the other activities.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The only show we enjoyed was Impact and the ICE show. The comedy show was awful. Boleros did not have any latin music

Children's Programs

we didn't travel with children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Housekeeping was great as well as the waiters

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Very clean - the promenade was small and not very much to do or stores to shop at.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Clean and comfortable.

Ship tip

We were on the Mariner before for a 7 day cruise and I remember doing so much more. Maybe since this was a short cruise, I find that I didn't do much on thes ship.

My experience with shorter cruises is the tend not to be jam packed with activities and shows since they're mainly for quick getaways. Glad you still had a nice mini break.

Did you use your phone for the Set Sail Pass or did you have to print a boarding pass?
