Review summary

The only issue I felt was there was not a Catholic service available on Sundays. There was a Jewish self led Sabbath and I was very disappointed that I as a practicing catholic did not have an option to attend a mass on the ship, even if it had been streamed.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Sevice was amazing / food was above average but not exceptional in the Main . Buffet was exactly that and very good. The specialty restaurants were awesome, I was a smidge disappointed with Giovanni's.

I could name names but that would be boring. There was not one staff member that did not have a smile and a kind word. All around they were AMAZING!

To hold any self led religious service all you need to do is request the free reservation of a public lounge (or the non-denominational chapel if the ship has one) for a time when no public event is being held there. GS services will publish it in the Compass only if the request is made in advance through the Corp offices, by a group willing to accept the general public in addition to their members.

I believe the only time they offer religious services is on transatlantic cruises 🛳. Normal cruises don't have them. Barring that you had a great itinerary and cruise 🛳.
