Review summary

This is nice ship with some interesting features. We are booked on it again. This was my 40th cruise.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Surprise Covid test and multiple doc checks got annoying.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was very good. I was a little concerned it would be horrible like the Divina we did in Dec.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

We are seniors and tend to not engage in on board activities. Casino we used but minimum stakes at tables was a deterrent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff outstanding.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Chairs throughout the ship are uncomfortable. Tried to find place to sit and read....ending up going back to room and sitting on bed or couch.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Cruise lines should remember they are hotels and beds need to be very comfortable. 2 drawers; tiny closet with doors that were troublesome; bathroom layout had minimal counterspace; shower/tub had only half door & tub wall to high; had to place towel in tub to prevent slips; lighting throughout was atrocious....cast shadows, so hard to do makeup and hair. Also floor above created lots of noise as did rough seas.
