Review summary

We had a great cruise. Embarkation went well. We had a very smooth crossing of the Atlantic. Service on board was excellent and all staff went out of their way to make our cruise a success. The food was good but exceptional in Cagney’s steakhouse. We felt safe on board wearing our masks except that some people did not follow the rules. Disembarkation was very fast and transfer to airport was great. Overall had a great time.

Thanks for your review, we’re on this ship in October and sounds like we definitely need to do Cagney’s and Choir of Men!
