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.

Ship experiences

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!

Cabin / Stateroom

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

Ship tip

Be prepared for 6 days of only 23 hours as the clock is moved forward multiple nights at 2 PM to gradually catch up with European time zones.

Sounds like things came together for them. Wonder which World Travel Holdings sub company they used?
