This cruise happened during the height of the Omicron wave when ships had started to tighten up onboard safety measures once again. With that said, and even with the safety protocols in place, Disney delivered quality entertainment, above average dining and wonderful, caring crew.

The other surprise with this cruise is that it was at the time where USVI were not allowing that many ships to visit, so a few days before the cruise, we were made aware of a change from an Eastern Caribbean cruise to a modified Western Caribbean cruise, with stops in Cozumel and Costa Maya (instead of USVI and BVI). This somewhat defeated cruise pre-planning as all guests desiring to get ashore had to rebook port adventures on embarkation day.

Entertainment: The main reason for sticking to this cruise was the Star Wars theming on at least one of the day, and Disney delivered in this area. It started the night before the day at sea with the awesome Star Wars musical fireworks, plenty of activities and photo ops during the day at sea, a deck party that night, a special dinner in the main dining room, fun character interactions, and special shows/entertainment. The ship, even though it was properly around 35% capacity, was very alive during that day - and even with the distancing measures in place. For that, DCL made sure to repeat the same events several time so that people have an opportunity to see/attend. The regular entertainment was OK, but DCL figured out the schedule somewhat last minute, primarily due to "crew availability". This cruise features some individual acts as well, which were good. The shows lacked a little bit of their usual punch with minimal crowd interaction and a theater which was less than half full. Given the limitations in place, I'd say that the entertainment did not disappoint, but was a tiny little bit below what one is used on DCL. Read more
