Review summary

Covid-Omicron cancelled ports availability and we had to wear masks onboard. Crew was very nice but there had been some covid infections (1or2 a day) in the crew, but that affected the number that were quarantined for safety. I respected the level of safety protocols put in place and maintained. This is a first class cruise line in every way. We were able to relax, enjoy all the wonderful things they do. The onboard orchestra was fabulous and the violinist Katerina Rosso was absolutely incredible.

Food and Dining

Prime 7 is as good as any steakhouse in the US. Wonderful overall food. Good wine but premiums were too expensive. Mark up was too large (3 to 4 times cost) for a ship that is "all inclusive".
