Review summary

We loved the ship , the ports we stopped at were good that’s why we picked this trip. It was only half capacity so the crowd was small, cleaning during the Covid was excellent, cleaning crew did a fantastic job. Honestly our only complaint this time was the food, and it wasn’t just one of us it was both of us that thought that.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Excellent, with the medallion, it literally took less than 5 minutes from the time we got to port and gave our luggage to walk into the ship, it was the fastest time we ever got on ,👍👍👍

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

My 10th cruise, the main dining room food was ok but the portions weren’t as good as past, salads were super small, lobster was as big as my pinky, how could you serve that to someone, and shrimp cocktail, 4 pcs served in a shot glass? What’s up with that ( so that tells you how big they were) pizza was the best , buffet was very small and same food every day .

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and layout and design was great

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We always get either a balcony or mini suite, our room was perfect and our balcony was angled so there was a lot of room

Ship tip

Older crowd, do more research on what people say about food. Not a good ship for a young crowd mostly children

We were on the same cruise and thought that the food was awesome in every venue we ate at.The month before we were on the Caribbean Princess and the food on that cruise was just good enough, but not awesome. To each their own tastes I guess.

I am currently on Sky and I think the food is amazing. Yes, I agree portions are a bit smaller but actually I like that because I don’t feel as full and can enjoy it more. Service is excellent and we ate at Crown Grill last night and all was fantastic.
