Review summary

great boat, lots of places to explore. Entertainment is good and food is very good. App crashes, staff seems overwhelmed and tip sheet has misinformation. I look forward to experiencing continued improvement in the guest experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
super efficient. Post pandemic procedures have improved the overall experience

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room was fantastic. My time dining can result in a delay, but it's "my time" and there is the opportunity to make a reservation if you so choose. Nice procedure.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Very nice variety for all ages

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Overall good but the reservation policy through the app is horrible. App crashes and all reservations are lost. When you make a reservation, grab a screenshot for when the app crashes numerous times

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Main dining room was fantastic. All other staff members seemed stressed and shorthanded.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Great ship, clean, so many cubbies to find.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
quiet location, view of Central Park and the rising tide bar. Can hear the deck music, which is really nice, except the chairs on the deck not comfortable for lounging. And privacy is challenge since the rooms on the other side can see into your room.

Ship tip

Don't count on the app to keep your reservations, take screenshots to prove you made the reservations. Make reservations before even boarding.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
nice location and clear how to get a cab

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Beach is close and nice amount of time there to explore both the port and the beach.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Love, love, love that the port is in Coxen Hole. Great location to explore the area due to limited time there. Love Roatan's beaches!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
"easy disembarkation tip sheet" has inaccurate information. Check with guest services.
