Review summary

There were certain aspects of the cruise that made me upset but I did have a wonderful vacation with my family and we had a great time!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Long lines but there is nothing anyone can do about that.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I wish they would change up the food and menus same menus and food I have seen since before the pandemic. Cagney's is always amazing. The Buffet just a cluster of people and food selection not that great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool, fitness center was great!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Shows were good but not as great as pre pandemic. Too many buy in's like bingo, wheel of fortune, deal or no deal

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff is amazing and go above and beyond!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship needs an update in the staterooms. You can see the wear and tear.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Picture window cabin. Bathroom so small. You could only access the bed from one side. You can see where they tried to repair water leaks in the stateroom. The window could not see out of because on condensation, rust, salt so what was the point for paying extra!!

Ports of call

Boston, Massachusetts

5 out of 5

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Worst disembarkation ever. They had everyone vacate their staterooms by 8am. Stewart knocked on our door at 7:50am to tell us we had to leave by 8am. Then everyone had to go to the 6th, 7th, 8th, buffet to wait for their luggage color to be called you were not allowed to walk off luggage. We had yellow tags ( first off the ship) to be off between 815-830. We were not called until 9:10am. They had to walk all they way around the ship to wait in a security line. Just seemed very chaotic and unorganized compared to my previous trips.d

Thank you for sharing. It's pretty much what I expected, Boston is a very tiny cruise port if that is what you might call it, so I'm not surprised at the long lines both getting on and off the ship.

Sadly, disembarkation is always chaotic, they have had your money, and just want you off!
