Service and Staff

4 out of 5
great job by dinning staff we whispered we would like to try things we saw others get and magically they appeared. room steward, really quiet and reserved, never bothered us and kept room clean.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
for age of ship there is some signs of wear. but the new areas that were recently redesigned are beautiful

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
nice size, always kept clean

Ship tip

it is a more laid back vibe with an older clientele. which for me leads to a great experience, people dress for din we not just on formal nights. so.e kids but not many as there are not a million things to keep them occupied. again something I would not use so I like the value price of the boat and line.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
sting Ray city, starfish point. took private charter boat from cobalt custom charters. couldn't give a better review, well worth the extra money. got to sting Ray city before the cruise ship mob, then starfish point with only a few other small boats. finished off with long snorkel at reef. extra time at each place because just the five of us, and the boat was fast to each locale.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
took best of roatan tour by Victor Bodden tours, best tour I've ever done, driver took us where ever we wanted to go, also gave us priority access to sloths and monkeys, because is run by same company.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
long tender 20 minutes to land, nice port with shops and restaurants. took cruise excursion to Mayan ruins since it is 1hr journey

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
