Review summary

Smooth sailing! We enjoyed a very calm west to east Atlantic crossing!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Embarkation was complicated by COVID testing. We experienced long line, but water was provided and kept things upbeat by chatting with our cue neighbors.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the variety and high quality of the offerings served on the Lido Deck. The pea soup at the Dutch cafe is a wonderful light snack. Tea at 3 PM was nice!

We had a very smooth sail, but the bow can be pretty rough under rough seas.
