Review summary

It was nice to finally take a vacation after 2 years of Covid lockdown, but I think my next cruise will be with Carnival again or Norwegian (will be my first with them).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was AWESOME but the drinks were way too expensive ($9 for 1 can of Truly?!) and were very weak.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Pools were nice but scope of activities were very limited (possibly due to Covid?). I've had way more fun on Carnival pared to Royal Caribbean.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Best customer service and attention to detail EVER on a cruise.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Appreciated the care taken during Covid: lots of hand sanitizer readily available, hand washing station before entering buffet, staff service with buffet items.
