Overall disappointment. Spa not quiet, no windows, no staff circulating, poor food choices even with specialty restaurants.

Nothing was open until we were at sea at 8pm. Little food, thermal spa closed

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

For a ship advertising vegan and vegetarian friendly, it was the opposite. Not many choices during the day; fewer choices at dinner

Thanks for your feedback! Did you at least enjoy Bermuda? I had housekeeping issues on my cruise too. I'm going to get with the housekeeping manager on the first day, and make it known that nobody comes into my cabin without a mask and only twice per week max. If they screw up, their tip leaves the ship with me. I bring my own cleaning supplies, including a mini-whisk and a mini-swiffer. 😂 There's so many people that have covid right now on these ships. Never had it and don't plan on getting it. The food is ok, but I'll probably end up eating pizza, hamburgers and hotdogs like the last time. 🍕
