Loved the cruise with the sole exception of missing Jerusalem, the primary reason for choosing this itinerary

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fast and easy thanks to getting negative Covid test in advance

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining was consistently good. We loved the Solarium Cafe quieter and less crowded than Windjammer. Wonderland was an amazing experience. .

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

There were many opportunities that looked great, but we stayed w the basics.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Three main shows were exceptional. There were other performers we enjoyed. However, a few more would have added to the evenings.

Children's Programs

No children w us.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room steward was affable and met all our requests. Dining staff was friendly, attentive and helpful

5 out of 5

Great, new ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

We used RoyalUp to upgrade to cabin 8564. Cabin w extended balcony was a perfect private refuge.

Why weren’t you able to go to Jerusalem?

I’m scheduled to take the same cruise in October but the shore excursions are already full. Why take the cruise?! Such a bummer I now want to cancel it.
