We loved it so much, 2 days after getting home we booked again
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We arrived at NYC port at about 10:15. Security was quick.. next line was checking your online check in paperwork, passport, covid test emails and Bermuda travel authorization. That was longest line but still it moved.. slowly but still moving. And then 3rd getting key card was quick. We were on board by 11:50, drink in hand and sitting on pool deck.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Rarely went to buffet.. first day for quick bite.. last day for quick breakfast.
Main dining rooms were pretty good. I have to say MDR on Gem the food was better.. I was slightly disappointed in LaCucina.. everyone else's meals were great.. so it's definitely a person to person experience for food. I have to say my favorite was The Local.. everything we ordered was delicious.. Cagney's and Teppanyaki are my favs..
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There's always something to do.. we did a lot of live music listening.. mornings relaxed after breakfast and sat in on trivia but we really just love walking the ship and love the casino
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Enjoyed pool deck with DJ.. enjoyed all live music.. really loved 4blue (I think that was the name). They really were having fun while performing and it showed.. never got to see footloose or elements because it was sold out on our cruise and only 1 showing of each which kind of sucked
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our Steward was great.. always pleasant, always remembered our names, rooms were done twice a day.. one day we took a nap and he did our room a 3rd time.. everyplace you went staff said good morning or hello walking the ship.
David in Mojito bar kept us coming back again and again.. mojitos were so delicious and his personality was great so that was our favorite spot..
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Everything was super clean. There was staff at elevators constantly cleaning the elevator buttons.. inside and out. Always cleaning handrails throughout ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Everything was perfect.. very happy with balcony cabin
Easy enough.. had breakfast and waited for our color to be called.. there was a very very long line to get off ship.. I think there was some glitch in the scanners as they scanned key cards.. we were about 5 people back from getting off ship and everything stopped for a good 15 minutes
Good review, thanks for sharing. Glad you enjoyed your cruise. The rudeness of a few other passengers always astounds me too, no need for it. Especially when staff are as overworked as they seem to be just now.
