Review summary

The best thing about this cruise was getting off ttte ship at the end. The rest of the cruise was just ok. Mainly because we've done this cruise before...just on another cruise line. The best was the dining room ppersonnel.. They were great!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

TERRIBLE! People did not adhere to their assigned times for the testing and boarding process. Therefore, lines were long and it took almost 4 hours to finally get on board the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining rooms were very good. Since the ship was only half full, there were no waiting times to dine. Specialty restaurants were booked and we couldn't get the ones we wanted. We did try to book prior to departure dates, but website wouldn't allow it. Very disappointed...The Italian restaurant was not worth the extra $. It was loud and the overall dining experience wasn't great.

Onboard Activities

Just ok. We are older and didn't participate in the pool slides, ropes course, etc.

What did you expect if you've been to all these places. 60% occupancy sounds good to me. Most folks would be grateful to cruise, be waited on, no dishes, entertainment and beautiful views. Maybe you should take a different vacation next time.

If you have the "been there , done that" attitiude why go? Or better yet why rate. Doesn't feel to me the ports get a fair review.

Glad you enjoyed it. 4 out 5 stars is about the best you can expect cruising during Covid.

Looks like you need to change venues, sounds like this area is now too boring to do a decent review.
