Review summary

Ship was beautiful. Unfortunately Covid outbreak put a damper on the holiday (not the fault of the cruise line). The ship staff did a good job catering to the passengers.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
My travel partner needed wheelchair and the staff were super helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All food was supreme. We enjoyed two specialty restaurants and the buffets were very delicious. Dining Room choices were excellent and the staff was First Class! After the first day the Barista knew my drink order as soon as I arrived.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools were fun. We particularly enjoyed the Solarium. North Star was nice but very brief. I did encounter wi fi problems.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We were excited to see the Journey cover band as well as the Led Zeppelin cover. Both were great!

Children's Programs

No kids.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the beach. Disappointed that helium balloon was not operational.

Oranjestad, Aruba Did not visit port

Covid would not allow us off the ship so we did not sail there. Excursion fees were refunded.

Willemstad, Curacao

2 out of 5
The view from the ship was wonderful but we were not allowed to disembark due to Covid. Very disappointing.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Easy off and luggage retrieval. Outside port staff were gruff.
