I had a great time. I cruised solo, but was never lonely. Lots to do and people were very friendly.

The adult pool and hot tubs were very relaxing and not over-crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Outstanding entertainment options. Mama Mia was great! Really enjoyed the comedy show, the ice show and the headliner (loved it so much I went twice)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All service staff were phenomenal. My cabin steward was excellent. Main dining room staff were spectacular. Customer service staff was helpful and professional. Spa staff were caring and delivered great services.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Really well done. Best ship I’ve been on. Despite having thousands of people on board, it never felt crowded. Even the elevators were easy with rarely a wait.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was spacious. The AC/Heat worked well. Bathroom/shower were great. The only thing that could be improved is the mattress. Beds on their other ships were more comfortable.

Ship tip

Watch the weather forecast and plan accordingly. It can be cold/rainy in January

Cozumel, Mexico

1 out of 5
Torrential rain. They did not cancel the excursions. Hiked 1/2 mile to the bus through the rain and mud. Restaurants weren’t serving at Xcaret due to the weather. Half the passengers on the ferry were seasick.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Confusing instructions for Key disembarkation
