We had picked this cruise after being on three others that were canceled over the past 12 months. It was a family cruise with three generations of people so a nice get away. So getting to the port my suggestion is to print out your test results instead of trying to find it on your phone it speeds things up a lot. It moved a lot faster than in the past. If i recall correctly they said that there were 1700 adults and 125 minors on board. Masked were enforced in areas where they were required. The first night we ate at Wonderland which was a great experience and some dishes were very good and some not to our liking but great service. So on day two we went to check in at the dining room for our my time dining option and the gal at the desk said out time was 8:30 pm and we said we would like 5:45 instead. She then said my time doesn't start till 6:30 ( something new i guess). So we asked if we could change to early dinner which we got a quick NO. So we left and after a little while we went to guest services and asked if we could change and in about 10 minutes we had a table for 10. Not sure why they couldn't do that in the dining room. Then we went to play Pickleball in the seaplex for the designated time and when we got there there was one net up and no lines for the court but we played for a bit and them some others came to play so we played together. Then more came and it was like pulling teeth to get another net put up.

A day or two later we went to play again in the designated time and one net and a bunch of people wanting to play with someone playing basketball on the court. So some got upset and a lot of yelling and eventually they put up another net but most left a rage. It just seems like they is no one in charge or willing to make a decision. Next to the sea plex is the VR experience which was only open 1 hour a day so no change doing that.

We had a great wait staff in the dining room and most of the dishes were great but most fish dishes were fishy and were sent back for something else. Windjammer food was the same as in the past but they have to put the food on your plate and half the time they are talking to their coworker so its a little slow. It didn't matter where you got scrambled eggs they were always a little undercooked for me.
