Review summary

High covid on ship made ports I wanted to visit unavailable.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Upgraded to a haven suite so had priority treatment

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All excellent

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools were cold. Spas overcrowded. Rope course and ocean waves only open for short period 2 5imes. Deal or no deal has a very very very low chance of winning anything of value. Haven outside spa area closed most of sailing.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Choir of men not as good as on the encore. Cabaret only played one night and choir of men only played one night. Comedy was just OK. Entertainment not up to pre-covid quality or quantity. Not as many shows as previous bookings.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent. Manhatten staff is excellent.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Need more spas and warmer water in swimming pool

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Was upgraded to penthouse suite and it was fantastic. However was a long walk to get to haven. I think spa suites should be out of haven and non spa suites in haven.

Ship tip

Get the asparagus soup in the manhatten
