Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We saw all the shows which were amazing. The talent on ship was incredible. We enjoyed time by the pool. We watched the surfers and the beginner surfers trying to get it figured out. We watched the rock climbers and the zipliners. The fitness center and track were state of the art. Everything was amazing. So much to do or nothing at all.

Ship Quality

The ship was incredible. Always clean and well maintained. The design was wonderfully thought out with all theaters on one end and all dining on the other. The pool deck was very nice and the lookout deck was incredible.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was nice sized and very clean. The bathroom and shower were good also. Great water pressure. The bed was too hard though.

Ship tip

Don't over pack. Use the extra bedding and put under your sheets to help soften the bed...Bed is way too hard.

I did not enjoy this excursion at all. It was a long bus ride with nothing to see and our guide did not speak very good English and was too hard to understand. It was miserable hot and sticky and I did not enjoy anything about it. I just wanted it to be over. The shopping wasn't very good either but the port was clean and the water was beautiful. Oh the bathrooms had no water in the toilets and there was a lady filling the tanks with a bucket to flush.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the Atlantis Submarine. So fun and exciting. We loved it. Shopping was great and we ate at the Margaritaville. Wonderful.

Disembarkation

It was a crazy time and everyone was crowded together but it went very smoothly and was no problem at all.
