Review summary

We were so happy to sail, even with the delay. Our purpose was to enjoy a getaway we have missed. It was well worth the wait!

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Not the fault of the cruise line, but hard to wait for CDC to decide whether the ship would sail. Port was caught in a bind, trying to find seating for people who couldn’t stand long periods. Inadequate restroom, little access to water, none to snacks - to have boarded at noon, didn’t have a decision until well after dark, and passengers were extremely tired.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We largely limited ourselves to O’Sheehan’s because of its convenience to my handicapped spouse, good food choices, and friendly staff.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Plenty of activities. We especially enjoyed those in the Atrium on deck 6.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Good musicians for a variety of tastes- loved Leo and 8,7,6 Connect

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
These people aimed to please, worked hard, and kept the spaces as clean as possible.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had the smallest suite, which was tighter quarters than anticipated. However, the bathroom and walk-in shower were great!

Glad you didn’t allow the debarkation snafu to keep you from enjoying your trip. Thanks for your review.
