We were happy that this was a 12 night cruise returning Christmas eve. The ports were amazing and while we like a smaller ship, they are sailing at 60% capacity and so it didn't feel crowded or uncomfortable even with Covid restrictions.

The entertainment on this ship "we will rock you" and "Jersey Boys" makes up for the larger ship and the service as ever is perfect. Few food choices not great but over all for a large ship, it was great. Symphony is even larger but to me the lay out of the ship is better so it didn't feel as crowded on that ship, but we went out in the first month so there is that new ship feel. We loved the excursions we took, just by luck. We have friends in San Juan so that was a bad situation the ship was 2 hours late into port and some people missed their excursions. THOSE who didn't book with RCCLS lost money on their excursions, we were chatting with people waiting to get off. but again, we were lucky for what we did and loved each port experience. St. Kitts RR was fab, swimming with the sting rays, the best of Barbados (botanical garden and gun hill) and st maarten on our own.
