Review summary

One of the engines went out on the boat and we never ported in Cozumel. We were given a 50 on board credit! We seat in the Gulf for a few hours two days in a row worried to death!!! It took them a total of 6 to 8 hours to fix the engine.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The lemonade is terrible so you have to buy soda cause even the water taste like sea water. Pay the 7.95 a day! If you want BBQ you will have to wait in the line outside for about a or or more!

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The lines were long and no where to set. it took me 3 days to get a seat a the comedy club and you have to get there 45 mins to and hour early.

My kids love the experience! Be careful of the kids carnival fee. Some days its $6.75 an hour and some days its $15.00 Flat rate. They will not inform you!

Service and Staff

Ship tip

Read the reviews before you book any ship because some of them are known for breaking down and you will not get your money back if they don't port. You will only get the port fee of $9.00.
