Review summary

We planned our own excursion in Cozumel. Cruise food was good, but felt like Windjammer didnt have as many choices as past cruises. Would have liked some sushi on the buffet. Ship itself was nice for one of their smaller ships. Room we had was great. Was able to have my wife and four kids in one room.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Have to pay for lobster on shorter cruises.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Miniature golf, pool, hot tub. Watched football by the pool. Arcade was small.

Children's Programs

2 out of 5

for kids in diapers, no splash area and they are not allowed in pool. Nursery area has limited hours and they dont coincide with older kids' areas so you are constantly picking kids up at different times.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Some staff not as friendly as I am used to. Some staff seemed annoyed at times when I asked for something.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Doesn't have as many places to explore as RC's larger ships as you would expect, but still had a lot of amenities.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Not a good ship for kids in diapers if you want a break on your own.
