Review summary

The constant fog and rough seas were annoying. COVID kept us in quarantine for seven days in an obstructed view cabin and not in our Neptune Suite. We were fully vaccinated and boosted.

Neptune Suite passengers was supposed to have priority boarding which did not happen.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Hot foods were not warm in the Lido Market, Canaletto or the Pinnacle Grill with the exception of the chocolate souffle. The Pinnacle Grill also did not have the ribeye steak or lobster tails the night we were booked there.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Outstanding Neptune Suite room stewards! The three we had during our 35-day cruise were the highlight of our cruise. Very attentive and great smiles!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Emaculate and still in pristine condition. Not a tall ship but a long ship. Loved the beautiful fresh flowers and artwork throughout the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Amazing and spotless. I want one of those automatic light closet bars hangers. The annoying green/blue light on the smoke detector lite up the entire cabin at night.

Ship tip

There is COVID on the ship. There were least four decks with quarantined cabins. Keep your mask on regardless!

The ship was to have docked in Amsterdam on July 24th but due to the low water in the canal, there was last minutes plans to dock us in Rotterdam. was a last minute scramble to dock in Rotterdam.
