Review summary

This was our 38 cruise and we really enjoyed having less passengers! On Dec we sail Breakaway and we hope it s still under capacity.We ate breakfast on the fantail and enjoyed the view. If you eat at Cagney’s ask for Elace she is the best! There were no children under 12 and just a few well behaved teens

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Everyone was given a Covid test. After you were negative then the check in continued in their new Miami terminal. Gorgeous facility but new process seemed to take longer than old. I’m sure soon it will be streamlined.

Not quit back to normal. My husband did do the rock climbing wall. Hours were very limited but he liked it.

Entertainment

Comedian was fantastic but otherwise we had already seen similar entertainment so we didn’t go.

Ship tip

Loved only sailing with 1300 passengers! Not as many activities as usual. Trivia was like a history test! Crew running it let there be a team of 12 didn’t keep u it too 6 as it should be
