The cruise from Lisbon to New York was better than expected, given that we had sailed on the Epic before, when it was full, and hated it. This time, with only 1800 passengers, it was very nice. Food has improved since before Covid, service was very gracious and efficient, activities were good, shows were very good, except for illusionist and one comedian, and time for relaxation was easily fulfilled. No landfalls, due to a strike and weather, kept us on sea days the whole time - fine with us, despite the rough seas. Avoya's agent was most gracious in taking care of all the booking details.
