Review summary

I enjoyed the cruise, but overall, for me, the ship is too large carrying too many people. That's just my opinion.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation, with The Key was quick and efficient. Zero issues or concerns.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Since I didn't immediatly get in line to setup our reservations, the earliest dining time was 8:30pm for each night. That's too late. The Windjammer is too small and not open nearly enough for 6000+ passengers.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
I only was able to procure reservations for the Aqua show which was amazing.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Didn't see a single one.

Children's Programs

Did not use any of the programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service and staff were sufficient. Friendly and kind and worked hard.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean and beautiful.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was fine. There were items left behind from previous cruises which I found interesting. With the 2nd bed made, it was difficult to squeeze out to that beautiful extended balcony.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
I love Roatan. We enjoyed the Big French Key.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Very small, but enjoyable port. The swimming pool in the shops was a great touch.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
The shop owners in Cozumel are too aggressive. Excursions or staying on the ship are my future options for Cozumel.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very impressed with desembarkation. Quick and efficient. Amazes me how 6000+ people can be disembarked all while 6000+ new patrons are embarking.
