Review summary

After 2 years of not cruising this was heaven. No masks were required on board and it felt very natural. Felt safe.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy. Required antigen test took 30 minutes. Arrived at pier 10:45 had a scheduled 11 to 11:30 arrival. Checked luggage at pier 88 and was instructed to go to pier 90 for antigen test. No waiting did test and waited 30 minutes for result. Positive result and was given a wristband and instructed to go check in at pier 88.

The service was excellent, the crew, each and everyone of them were so attentive and so happy to be back working.

Ship Quality

Being a mid size ship makes it easy to fined the venues. Also there was only 50% capacity, which made the ship very comfortable.
