Review summary

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was our first trip out since the shutdown. Great cruise to test our return to sailing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Tampa did a great job - very organized and quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining was good - excellent service Windjammer service was great with reduced capacity

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pool deck was extra empty this trip Used the Fitness Center a couple times - practically deserted Not as many daily activities but never lacked for something to do

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Service was over the top - reduced capacity so there were probably as many crew as passengers. I would have given 5 stars but I had 2 bad encounters with 1 particular bartender at the pool bar

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

First time on this class of ship. The design was very different but well maintained and clean

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Walked off within 15 minutes of being docked
