Review summary

The ship was beautiful, the only complaint I had, being that this was my first cruise, was the food.  It was so bland and I never found anything that I loved.  We did the all inclusive food, and didn't pay for any restaurants, but I guess I was expecting amazing seafood and crab legs and I was a little dissappointed.  Also I will never cruise to cozumel again.  Cozumel was also dissapointing.  Dirty and our excursion had the worst snorkling equipment, and our "open Bar" and buffet was the worst I had ever seen.  But again the ship itself was amazing, great shops, beautiful views, loved the pools, but I might try a different port, and might pay for a better restaurant!

I second that on Cozumel. If you brought an aresol can of cheese whiz, the fish would come to you....In droves. Food is bland on most all budget cruise lines these days. In my opinion, its worth it to pay extra and go to the specialty restaurants. I think this has a lot to do with out-of-site food cost and fuel cost, yet the cruise ticket price has nearly stayed the same in the past 5 years.
