Review summary

All in all this was an amazing cruise with amazing crew members.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This went very smoothly, we were on the ship quickly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We didn't do specialty dining, but neither of us were huge fans of the food in the MDR or buffet. It wasn't the worst, but far from the best.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We knowingly booked on a smaller ship. We definitely weren't expecting much from entertainment, but it seemed to fall short even with low expectations.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone we came across was amazing, with the exception of the creepy blonde guy running drinks at the pool bar. A lot of people were voicing concern by the end of the cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We actually liked how small she is, everything was very accessible.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were in a Grand Suite. We enjoyed everything about it and all the perks that came with it.

Ship tip

This is a small ship, don't book if you're looking for constant entertainment and excitement, but it's great for a very enjoyable relaxing cruise.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5
We didn't do an excursion, but I will never get off the ship here again without one

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We didn't get off the ship, it was pouring down rain.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Absolutely loved everything about this stop. We went to the turtle farm and Hell and had a great time. Can't wait to go back

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
We didn't do an excursion, but it's a great place to get souvenirs if that's your thing

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Chaotic mess, it was not the best ending to an overall great vacation
