Ship experiences

Food and Dining

main dining room was nice, buffet was nice

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
splash in pool, hot tub was kinda not hot enough, gym is fantastic! the gym is one of my favorite parts of cruising. some of the equipment was missing stickers on the knob where you change it from 0, 5, 10, 15 pounds additional weight so i had to turn and do a rep to see what my weight was. i track my exercise on an app so this made it cumbersome.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
our dining staff was mayori, komang & klijaya and they were all fantastic, especially the female. im a bit of a recluse and dont typically talk to people but i made sure to reach out to ask for their information so i could take this survey and let you know they did a great job and made going to dinner nice.

Ship Quality

clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
we have only had interior staterooms so for us having a window was extra nice. seemed larger too..

Ship tip

the bathroom in the spa is the only one i could find that had paper towels for drying your hands after washing and that's very important to me personally, as i once saw an episode of mythbusters where they proved that there was more bacteria using a blow dryer to dry your hands than a towel.

Cozumel, Mexico

we did exactly what we weren't supposed to do and rented a scooter and scooted all the way to the opposite side of the island to the eco park. we brought our own snorkels so we found a little reef and swam with sting rays, and walked to the crocodile area and were very close with a large male and it was nice to see.

Disembarkation
