Yes, with Covid things are a little sketchy out there but I would highly recommend a cruise aboard NOTS. Embarkation was quick and easy, we were on the ship within about 10-15 minutes of arriving at the pier. Best part is the "new" lifeboat drill format...as soon as you walk onto the ship you get a very short and sweet safety briefing, no more gathering in a lounge for an hour and then being ushered out to a lifeboat station to stand around another hour!

We had a balcony stateroom, great location on deck 7 mid-ship. The room was always immaculate thanks to our cabin steward. Only complaint is that the bed was hard as a rock! Other than that, the room was very nice as was the bathroom.

Dining / food quality on the ship was fantastic! We are usually a little leery of food in the main dining room so we booked 2 nights of specialty dining. There was really no need, the food in the main dining room definitely exceeded our expectations. Service, quality and presentation were spot on. We tried Chops and Jamie's Italian as well as Johnny Rockets, El Loco Fresh & of course the Windjammer. The variety in the Windjammer buffet was amazing. No complaints about the food whatsoever.
