Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Design was OK, but my wife came home with COVID. Elevators were always overcrowded. Elevators only Front and Midship. Not in the back.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Good location, except No Elevator close.

Ship tip

If you get anytime dining, Ignore the time they assign you and go about 6 to 6:15. Any later, long lines. They scheduled us at 7:45 every night. Go at your scheduled time and you still wait in line like everyone else.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Sat in our assigned lounge waiting for our number to be called. We had a Nine. Aske the employee there how things were coming. He said they were calling #4. Stepped out of the ice rink and the guy coming down the stairs was calling #12. Said they called #9 a long time ago. There were a lot of people waiting in the Ice Ring waiting to be called.
