Review summary

Ship was only about 60% capacity. Nice not to wait in lines, poolside chairs readily available. We like sailing on the smaller cruise liners vs the Huge Megaships.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main Dining terrific. Taramind, Canaletto terrific. Pinnacle Grill for my birthday dinner, not good. Service was very slow. Waited 25 minutes after being seated for someone to take our drink order. Service was very slow thoughout the 2+ hour dinner ordeal. Not what we have come to expect from the Pinnacle Grille.

Getting on board was great. I know that because of COVID there has been some changes. The food and crew are amazing. I will say I miss the great shows they used to have. Looking forward to this week
