Sail Date: Nov 2021

I chose this cruise because I was looking for a great option for my Bachelor Party that would be reasonable and have most of the expenses folded in for my travel party. We did a 3 Day Sailing from Canaveral with a Day at Sea & Coco Cay; this sailing originally had Nassau on the Itin, but I believe it worked out better without it.

Sailing in a Post-Covid World is interesting. At the time of the sailing vaccinated guest were empowered to remove their mask at certain venues and overall the guidance was very fair and reasonable. Some changes have happened for safety that seem clunky, and others have happened that I hope stick around. Importantly, as a guest, I felt very safe and felt like this was a similar experience provided as when going to Disney World or Universal Orlando. Covid guidelines that I hope stick around are the new Muster format. Far superior to the previous way the industry did muster & RCCL did. I prefer the buffet with Food Servers as well, as it could prevent future Noro outbreaks as well.

Food overall was really enjoyable - I dined in the MDR for dinner twice, Izumi once, Johnny Rockets once, Windjammer daily for breakfast & once for lunch, and enjoyed the dining on Coco Cay exponentially.
