Review summary

Good for the most part. Never cruised in May/June before and found that we don't want to again. Very hot! Cruising was different this time than preCovid.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Good and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Yhe great bacon famine was evident. No bacon in buffet or at Guys burgers self serve. Bacon to be found was so thin you could actually see through the cooked far. Food was good enough but not the same quality iy had been on past cruises. Sea day brunch seemed very short staffed. Long wait for service, food and once good was delivered everyone was too busy to check on coffee/juice/water refill. It was very disappointing. Steak house was very good. Blue iguana breakfast line was quick but the food, other than the eggs, was cool and hard. Buffet choices very limited.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of things to do. If someone wanted a full, active day it would be easy to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We only saw the love and marriage show. It was cute. The cruise director, Cookie, was funny and entertaining.

Children's Programs

No kids with us.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff was all very nice. Definitely less staff than previous cruises. Short staffed in yhe restaurant for brunch. Room steward very friendly and did a great job with our room. Bartenders mostly friendly. Red frog pub had a bartender that didn't want to be there. He'd been wiping down the bar, we sat down, he looked right at us and left. A little later he came out and took our order but he must've been having a bad day or was ready to get off cause he was not pleasant at all.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Always seemed clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was always kept clean by the steward. Our only complaint would be yhe balcony. Occasionally when we would go out there it had a yellow liquid dripping from the rail area. Wondered if our neighbors were peeing out there and it got blown onto our balcony.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
Few places to shop at the port. Would be possible to get anything there from somewhere else probably cheaper. Except the flavored tequila. Didn't see that at Cozumel.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Took a while to start but moved surprisingly quickly

Appreciate your feedback. Agree that cruising post Covid is not the same. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise.
