Review summary

Really nice, relaxing experience. The only real problem was that it was only 6 days. We wished it was 12 days!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Exceptional food and drinks.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Didn't do most activities. Pool decks were hard to find a chair unless you went out early. Mini-golf is always fun on a moving ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Ice show was really good. Magician was incredible. Final night variety show was enjoyable; especially, the dance number by the Toni (Entertainment director).

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
For the most part, excellent service. Room steward was nice but forgot to leave room service menus and the bar service was slow.

Took a public bus to 7 mile beach. Very crowded. We should have looked at other options.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Shopping was good but no beach, no local flavor. Felt like a private island experience.

Cozumel, Mexico

Rented a jeep and drove around the island stopping at several bars and sights. Just LOVE Cozumel!

Disembarkation

We choose to Express disembarkation (took our own luggage and left before 8 AM). Smooth and effortless. Love this option.
