Ship experiences

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

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.

In todays world it’s impossible to know where your party contracted Covid unless you you never went ashore. Hopefully everyone is doing better.

I am curious…your review shows a departure date of 5/10 and a review date of 5/13……could your departure date be a mistake?
