Review summary

It is regrettable that the main entertainment was cancelled withour explaination. We had to wait 4 1/2 hours for airport to port bus transportation. Unacceptable. The cruise was acceptable but could have been so much better! Nor a 3.9 cruise as calculated by you!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Staff in terminal was rude and unnecessarily delayed our departure. Delaying passengers until all luggage is offloaded in not acceptable if you are going to use the colored tag system. If I had not already been tired, i would have filed a complaten tired

Thanks for the review. Cruising is not the same as it was prior to Covid. Entertainment and events that are canceled without explanation usually means an outbreak of or exposure to Covid among those in the performance. The calculation is correct based on how you rated each section, including the ports. Most of your ratings were four stars with a few five stars and some less.
