Review summary

best was service and assistance given my wife who had broken her foot, and needed assistance. This was our first post COVID cruise and we enjoyed that return. Do want to mention that we thought the changes to MDR menu, making it smaller, and theme oriented, were a great improvement, and shortened what had been a 2 hour dinner in MDR to about a little over an hour.

We’re on Odyssey of the Seas now. The lines to get into the MDR for “My Time” dining are much too long. Crew is awesome and ship is clean and very well laid out. We arrive In Curacao this morning and will see how getting off the ship is.
