Review summary
I strongly advise people to think long and hard about cruising while restrictions due to covid are in place. You have to be tested several times for the cruise by cruise personnel. Ports are closed. Bars are restricted with no seating at the bars. More difficult for socializing. This is the only cruise I've taken out of over a dozen with different cruise lines that I didn't enjoy at all.Embarkation

Ship tip
If you are elderly or have difficulty with walking make sure you are in the fore or aft section of the ship as it is a long walk to elevators as in my case, in center oof ship after I had asked for a room convenient to elevators. Ship wasn't even half full so I am sure they could have complied.
