Review summary

While they are calculating this as a 4.4, it really is a 2 out 5. The food, state rooms and dining was great. I cruise for food and entertainment. The entertainment was awful. They canceled 90 percent of shows, and we were denied access to PuertoRico. Also, the setup were you have to reserve shows is a mess. After the 1st day all shows were booked. That is not acceptable on an 8 day cruise. I was ready to leave on day 2. This was a boring cruise.

Zip Line

5 out of 5

The Zipline was fun and very safe.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
They cut 90% of all the entertainment. The experience was absolutely horrible. I would encourage anyone going to rethink it. They are not ready to sail. I should have known better. I sailed after 50 people were identified as having Covid on the ship.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
My waiters and room stewards were great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is beautiful, and well designed. Still not worth paying what I have for this awful experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I had a balcony room. It was beautiful!

Ship tip

Don't sail until they have resolved this situation with COVID. Otherwise, you will be wasting your money.
