The onboarding and offloading processes are much better than they used to be. Ports are nice except cozumel (tourist trap), and the staff on the boat were the best part of the cruise.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was very clean and the layout was easy to navigate.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The size was a tad small for 5 people, but they had beds for everyone so no one had to sleep on furniture as has happened in the past. The room was always kept clean and the balcony was wonderful to have.
Ship tip
Be sure to check out the garden area on board. It was a wonderfully relaxing area.
This port was beautiful, small and quaint with not a lot of shopping, but it was fun to see some of the native heritage on display. We did not do an excursion.
Cozumel is a giant tourist trap. Its nice to get off the boat and see a few things, but the locals all cat call people into their shops and if you aren't doing an excursion (like us) then its just trying to avoid people trying to force you into their shops. Port was nice and clean though.
Disembarkation was much faster than it used to be. Elevator rides ares still a bit tricky, but literally nothing can be done about that. It was a much better experience than the waiting in a giant line that used to happen.
