Wonderful experience. We were the last ship out when ports started closing. We were redirected from San Juan to Port Canaveral . Crew was exceptional at helping us be safe. Disinfectant flowed freely. Great caution regarding food service.

Service and Staff

Room steward was delightful. Serving people, greeters, everyone I encountered were helpful and pleasant. When we were diverted, customer services and staff worked hard to help us make contacts and arrangements as well as provide a continued cruising experience. It was impressive.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Excellent on cleanliness. Ship design -the casino in multiple floors where everyone had to walk through repeatedly to get to activities and dining experiences wreaking of smoke.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was perfect. Plenty of room. Great layout. Loved the balcony. Watched sunrise several days. It was beautiful.

Ship tip

On open sea days the pool area is really crowded. You may want to go after breakfast when you can get a chair and I the pool.

My family was on the cruise as well. Thank you for your cautious approach to sanitizing hands and serving food. We will book again in the future!
