Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The cruise personnel were always trying to sit you with other people in the dining rooms. This is not good for a ship that keeps showing multiple Covid cases. Most lunch times in the dining room is share or leave abs go to Buffett

Disembarkation

If you are assigned a time to meet and they are called your time 20 minutes late there is a problem. All luggage was not in the hall. People were waiting for luggage to arrive off of the boat.
