Review summary
Ship did not go to ports as advertised. RCL did not replace Labadee with CocoCay which could have salvaged the trip somewhat. Going to Nassau was awful replacement. Would never have gone on this cruise to the ports they changed to had I been able to switch to another date, which did not exist. Ship was big, pretty, but would never imagine it full with over 6,000 guests. As it was closed off for Covid restrictions we still had to have reservation to go anywhere to eat. Specialty restaurants where good, and not very busy. Shows were Ok, suite level gains you nothing but room location or size. Coastal kitchen a flop. Slowest place to get a meal and limited menu. Better off in main dining room. Pool areas are very small and no adult pool. They were crowded with only 17% capacity on board. Cannot imaging with full occupancy. Captain of ship a ghost. You only heard him on speaker if you were on deck. Never even saw a picture let alone the person.Embarkation

Ship tip
Think long and hard about going during Covid with mask restrictions. Ship was closed off 66% of areas so even with 17% capacity filled, some venues hard to get into. Would never sail this ship or class again due to layouts of pool and suite level non perks.
