Review summary

First cruise since COVID. The safety protocols were excellent and felt very safe. Crew really went out of their way to provide excellent service. Our Waiter, Natalia was superb and due to limited capacity, really was able to provide extra special service. The entire staff was excellent from Restaurant, Event, to housekeeping. No complaints here. Feel selfish to say that I wish that this limited capacity would continue. Never experienced this level of service. Thank You!

Very efficient. Was allowed to leave late due to late flight. These little allowances made for great service and a wonderful trip.
