Review summary

Had a good cruise once they let us on the ship. Least thing we liked was the food. Much better on other cruise lines.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Horrible due to Covid on previous sailing. Stuck at the cruise terminal for 61/2 hours waiting to board ship.

Terrible. It’s location is right across from the atrium where all day long there’s loud games and music. Every time we had questions or wanted to schedule something we couldn’t heard a word said for the noise. It was very frustrating for both the staff and us. Crazy to put something like that near the loudest venue on the ship.

Entertainment

Burn the Floor was awesome.

What's the covid testing process? We depart in February and I keep reading mixed reviews on how quick you board with testing

Somewhat agree in the comment about placement of Guest Services. It is definitely in a less than ideal location but we found ample times when it was quiet and never had a problem with getting what we needed.

Glad you enjoyed it in spite of a few issues. Flexibility and lowered expectations are the keys to enjoying a cruise currently.
