Review summary

Ship was not even at half capacity. 1000 passengers made it quiet and relaxing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had scheduled our arrival for 11-11:30. We showed up at about 10:45 and we on the ship by 11:10. The process was smoother than before the pandemic and we were on without a problem.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Chops is delicious. The MDR was enjoyable and the wait staff was phenomenal. The Buffett was a little confusing and the food was passable.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Show seemed a little dated but still fun.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship could use some freshening up, which I believe is coming later this year. The ship was clean and shiny.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Room was comfortable but it could use some modernizing.

Ship tip

If you have a problem with a shore excursion, mention it on the ship as soon as possible.
