Review summary

We were celebrating our youngest sons birthday (30). His wife, their 2 daughters and his wife's family were all there. It was a great cruise. There was something for everyone and everyone had a blast.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Went smoothly and moved fairly quickly. Would have been faster if i could have brought my carry on bag up the escalator instead of having to take the elevator.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Most of the dining options were superb. Mahi-Mahi in the dining room the first night was overcooked terribly.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Trivia, Dr. Seuss parade, Cat in the Hat show, Dr. Seuss breakfast, Waterworks, beach pool, arcade, charades, fitness center, movies, library books and games, dancing. It was all fantastic!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat was fantastic. Entertainers in the atrium, were also fantastic.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
I was disappointed that the children were exposed to cigarette smoke so often. With the casino being in the middle of the ship and so many activities on the same level it was difficult to move around without smelling smoke. For example the Dr. Seuss parade took the children right through the casino when it was open with lots on people actively smoking as they passed through.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great, everyone always had a smile and kind words for us. And the service was exceptional.

Ship Quality

Again I refer to the location of the casino. It being in the middle of the ship exposes people to 2nd hand smoke. I have been on other ship and the casino was located all the way forward so you could get to everything without exposure to smoke. And all smoking areas should be in places that can be avoided in need be. Some people are allergic to smoke and children should never be exposed. The other issue I had was the Laundry room. The machines (washer, dryer and payment) were in poor condition or not working at all. I did laundry 2 times and there was a laundry room 4 door down from my room. Both times I had to go to a different floor because

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved our cabin, the balcony was delightful. Loved having a bathtub to bathe the grand babies in. And the double sinks were a big win in my book.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Spent the night here before leaving on Sunday and loved it. All the shops and restaurants near the dock were so much fun.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
No excursion. But we really enjoyed walking around with the grandkids and watching the joy in their faces as they explored and shopped.

Belize City, Belize Did not visit port

Tendering so far with 2 small grandchildren was unrealistic. They don't have that much patience.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
No excursion. We enjoyed the lovely beach in the morning, collection shells, building sand castles, and playing in the ocean. Went back to the ship for naps. Then spent the afternoon walking the nature trails, looking at the shops, listening to the music and enjoying the grandkids discovering new things.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Went relatively smooth.
