The two comedians were very good as was Celli and the violinist. The singers were poor ( screaming) and obviously last minute emergency replacements. I missed the production shows. This doesn’t mean that I didn’t love the cruise just that I spent more time in the casino. Also the area used for game shows was too small without enough seating. Staff was wonderful. We were impressed by Singers; Karen Grainger, Todd Murray, and Uptown as well as the comedians, the magician, Jacob Tresuk and Celli. Some of the other vocalists just wailed and had no real range or songs you could relate too. When that happened, the live band was just excellent to watch… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Travelw Posted January 22, 2022 #238 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Left the ship today after a very good 12 days. Spoke with guest relations concerning number of passengers and crew on board, 1218 passengers and 1044 crew. Very nice experience with so few passengers. The cruise director explained why there were not any production shows, 6 dancers were in quarantine due to close contact with someone who had Covid.

Rare JamieLogical Posted January 22, 2022 #240 Share Posted January 22, 2022 My husband and I are onboard, but only have the surf wifi, so not sure how much I will be able to post. I am taking daily notes and will post as I can. Yesterday was super smooth. Departed on time, despite the slight delay in boarding. So far, everything is awesome! Stopped in Bimini right now. Vaccinated passengers are allowed to explore on their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know several of us who are on the January 30 sailing are hoping you will be able to post updates, following your current roll call for your January 21 sailing, assuming you will, if able, be posting there.

TourDeCruise Posted January 23, 2022 Author #248 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Boarding was smooth for us yesterday too. In fact, we were literally the first two new guests to board after the B2B guests reboarded as we had priority boarding. Today was Bimini, and we were very pleasantly surprised. We went out independently and were able to walk at least 4 miles from the port to kayak rental place, a convenience store, restaurant, down to Resort World Casino, to Hilton Hotel and Marina, around many beach homes, and to Beach 360. And then back to the cruise ship. We had to take a hard or digital copy of vaccination card ashore with us but no one checked the copies. We were supposed to wear masks indoors and outdoors but when we saw most locals and visitors including cruise ship guests not wearing masks outdoors, we took them off until we got back to the secure port area. We could only go out independently in Bimini if vaccinated. There is plenty to do with beaches, a few restaurants, golf carts you can rent, kayaks you can rent, or just walking around like we did. No real shopping which will disappoint some. There was another cruise ship anchored at sea near the end of Bimini. No one from that ship appeared to be tendering to shore, so it was a bit perplexing. Then we started hearing credible rumors, the ship was the Crystal Symphony with guests onboard. Apparently guests could not get off, but we heard they will be boarding a ferry to take them back to Florida. The Crystal Symphony will not be able to return to Florida. Next two days are sea days as we head to the ABCS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kptbylorraine Posted January 23, 2022 #249 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Sadly that was the Crystal Symphony you saw. Since the cruise line has shut down passengers are being ferried back to FLL to return home. The ship is “under arrest” by creditors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they made more space between the two tops that, in the past were so close you were almost sharing tables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
