Review summary

Cruise was great, ship was great, staff was great!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
No issues, arrived minutes before my designated time, boarding process was simple and smooth. Have vaccination card and passports readily available.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining was way to slow with approximately 40% ship capacity. We did not do any specialty restaurants, buffet was actually pretty good, many choices and service was great.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Used pools everyday, not over crowded at all. Hung out at Solarium daily, great wait staff!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Comedians on our sailing were good, seating in theater was arranged to have some space between guests. Theater was a comfortable temperature. Water show was ok at best. Minimal activities due to Covid, no big send off out of port and no big celebrations in the main entrance of the ship.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff was really good, they were all happy to be back to work. Best part of sailing with limited capacity was you never had to really wait for ANYTHING! Bar service was rapid, never a lineup, same with breakfast and lunch. Again, biggest disappointment was main dining, too long and drawn out, 2 hours every night.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved our room, comfy balcony and room. Very clean, very good room attendant!

Ship tip

When you book your room, check what is right above your room (bar, restaurant, kids area, etc.) and where do you prefer to hangout during the day. We try to get close to solarium each trip.

Ports of call

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
This place was tremendous! We did the beach club, well worth the money!

Miami, Florida
