Review summary

All and all, perfect ship for me as far as size and number of people. Felt very intimate with my vacation and didn't feel overwhelmed or lost!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick! Arrived at the terminal at 10:15am and was onboard the ship at 10:30am.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Deluxe Beverage package was the way to go. I Definitely drank my monies worth. Only draw back is the Pool Bar gets very busy and may have to wait just a bit, but hey, you're ship time so relax and enjoy the wait. MDR, Windjammer and Park Cafe had excellent food. Tip: Try the roast beef sandwiches in the Park Cafe and the pizza was good there, too!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Casino!! Casino was great and kept winning enough to come back every day! I had better luck there than I did in Vegas.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Went to the Theatre 2 nights. Shows were ok in my view but I'm not much of a state show person so maybe I shouldn't rate this part.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
MDR staff (Roy) were amazing! All staff onboard did a wonderful job. No complaints.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean, easy to navigate, and just small enough to feel intimate but still has a big ship feel. They did a wonderful job to intertwine the two.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room 3541, Accessible Cabin. Perfect size for my wheelchair and accessible needs. Downside, hallways are very narrow for a wheelchair, especially on Embarkation Day when the luggage is placed by doors.

Ship tip

Take the time to explore! It's small enough to not get lost but yet, you get lost in the experience!

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
No excursion. Be wary of the gauntlet of Sellers. They will hound you at the shops!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Bought the Key Program and after I had me breakfast, I was escorted off the ship in a matter of 5 mins.
