Here’s the TLDR version up front, then if you want details, they are provided below.
THE GOOD:
Great food, mostly great entertainment, exceptional staff, nice ship, nice room, excellent casino, CocoCay! Post COVID cruising is 85% of what it used to be and we had a blast. No masks were required on the ship as all travelers were mandated to be vaxed and tested prior to sailing.
Ocean view balcony mid-ship deck 8 . A perfect location being just around the corner from Central Park. Cabin was big enough for 2 and despite the age of the ship (it was to be dry docked in 2020 for an update but was not due to Covid), everything was fresh and clean – minimal signs of wear. Shower is still a glorified MRI tube but the cabin has plenty of space for storage. Sink water pressure was shockingly strong.
