Weird - but glad to be cruising after 2 year absence. NCL did a great job on their end to try to keep us safe. Full vax for staff, crew and passengers. Testing before boarding. Testing at every port before we could go ashore. Masking when not actively eating, drinking, in state room, or able to social distance (i.e outside). Disappointing not to be able to go ashore as planned. Only 1 of original 6 ports were open to us. We needed to have a booked excursion to go ashore - and the timing (only mornings) was an issue for us. We stayed on the ship 9 of the 11 days of the cruise. Lots of time on our stateroom balcony! Considerably less occupancy was weird - but nice. We avoided the buffet and used the dining room for our meals.
