I'll take eight sea days especially if it's in the Haven.

We are doing this same itinerary in April on the Gem from NY. Curious to know what, if any, issues/restrictions you encountered at the various ports due to Covid.

Understand your frustration. I realize some people do not care for sea days, we do.

Enjoyable but Deflating

NCL didn't care about anyone on the Getaway.

Long journey across Atlantic
