Review summary

Best cruise ever! Food, service and cleanliness were excellent. We have a friend in a wheelchair and the staff was extremely attentive and helpful with getting him around, taking him to the buffet and even helped getting him into the jacuzzi. Love the new way of the buffet, where the staff serves you. So much more sanitary than before the pandemic. We also were very fortunate, had only 822 passengers on board

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had a wheelchair and the staff didn’t know where the elevators were otherwise a little confusing, but not bad; they had just moved to this new terminal

Loved the pools and jacuzzi, the waterslides are so much fun. The Himalayan rope walk a little scary in heavy winds

Entertainment

Shows, singers and dancers excellent, the music a bit too loud

Waitstaff and room stewards super friendly, helpful and efficient. Leticia Narain, dining hostess, Adonay Garcia and his staff, very attentive , friendly and helpful. Kaiyana Thomas kept our cabin very clean, was friendly and helpful. Dias Lincio always made perfect coffee and tea, was very attentive , helpful and friendly . Joyce Cabanas buffet attendant very friendly, attentive and helpful. She even thought me how to make paper flowers, such a sweet girl. We had a friend in a wheelchair and all staff helped to push, brought my friend to the buffet, and even helped him getting into the jacuzzi . We were very impressed and happy with all the staff

I'm most impressed with "walked to atlantis"... that is no small walk.

Thank you for the great review. Hopefully when I get on in a month they will still have reduced capacity.

Thanks for the review. I am considering booking a solo cruise for January with the great deals they have currently. A balcony for a week for $ 550 solo including tips, taxes and fees is too good to pass up.
