Review summary

Overall nice ship...we probably won't sail her again though as we most definitely missed the Oasis class neighborhoods...and size.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Lines were not clearly marked...lots of confusion. 10:30 check-in and didn't get on ship until a bit after 11:30. Stuff happens though.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Wasn't great but wasn't horrible.

Main Dining Room

4 out of 5

It was ok. Food was again, not great but not horrible. Staff was just being trained...minor issues but they were learning so no worries.

The Cafe @ Two70

5 out of 5

Staff knew my coffee order every time hubby and/or I walked in to get it. I got a few salads and they are made to order...great!

Cafe Promenade

3 out of 5

They don't have speciality coffee...must get it from cafe270 which isn't open as much.

Windjammer Marketplace

4 out of 5

Enjoyed breakfast and lunch a few times here. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was good...nothing special though.

Playmakers℠ Sports Bar & Arcade

5 out of 5

Food was great. Staff was quick and friendly with service. Loved the knockout punch!

El Loco Fresh

3 out of 5

Cold or lukewarm every time we tried to eat here. Good taste though. Quick and efficient service. Staff really kept up with cleaning.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools & Whirlpool

3 out of 5

With just under 2000 people, you'd think you'd be able to get a seat near the pool...nope. the staff allowed holding of chairs all day. Pools were full. If you're looking for social distancing in these areas, you won't find it.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
You can only reserve the book. Everything else is first come...even the book they just let whomever in with our without reservation.

Cabin / Stateroom

Only complaint is that it was a tad difficult to get between the bed and TV. Tight squeeze.

Appreciate your feedback. Sorry this smaller ship didn’t meet your needs. Deck chairs hogs seem to be problem even with low occupancy.
