Review summary

It was a wonderful cruise, just hated the many dining disasters we endured. Hoping they can fix now they address allergies before someone gets seriously hurt.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Extremely quick and organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
If you didn’t have any food allergies, they were fabulous. However, having gluten and dairy allergies gave very few options. I was constantly served the wrong food and there was very little diversity in what they did serve. Never once felt like I could relax and eat safely on the ship. Plus, they were constantly running out of gluten free snacks. I felt like an inconvenience every time I mentioned my allergies.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Solarium pools, rock climbing, putt putt, carousel, zip-line and so much more. Many great opportunities to enjoy the activity amenities.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Fabulous shows: Mama Mia, Juggling, Hush Parties, Themed Parties, Diving Shows. . . Great options and always something to look forward to.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
Our 12yr old enjoyed the teen club and the ability to come and go. She wasn’t always a fan of their activities, but that is to be expected when creating a schedule that could speak to everyone.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room stewards were wonderful, kind and going above and beyond. Dining staff was hit and miss. I think feelings would have been different if I didn’t have so many issues with them accommodating my dietary restrictions.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship with staff working hard to maintain its beauty. My only complaint is the smoking section on the pool deck. However, I am not sure of another location that would be better.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice size for 3 people. Kept very clean by our room steward.

Ship tip

Try a variety of new activities with an open mind. Try your best to put a new bar, cafe show, activity each day.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Cute little town with lots of history and cafes.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
The water and coast line weee stunning. However, not a lot to do.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Port was huge and offered a lot. Water and beaches were beautiful.

Cozumel, Mexico

1 out of 5
Port was huge and offered a lot. Beaches are fabulous and lots of opportunities to explore.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It was organized, but the passengers not following directions made it harder than it had to be.

Sorry you had dietary issues. I had excellent care with my food allergy. Never a worry. Glad the rest of the cruise was enjoyed.

Why one star for anything other than dining?

Dining is such a huge part of cruising — sorry to hear it was disappointing on this cruise. Thanks for sharing!

Not sure why you gave only one star to things you say were "fabulous?" 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🫤

Appreciate your details. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations, especially the poor dietary choices.
