Review summary

First cruise but given lots of pointers from friends that cruise. It took a good day to become familiar with the layout of the ship and know where everything was. The app helped a lot with daily activities and menus.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Lines were long but moved fast. Agent was very pleasant.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Loved the steakhouse and Guy’s burgers. Other food was good but got tired of it near the end.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the sports court. Volleyball and dodge ball were a lot of fun. They were always playing basketball.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Jasper was our host and he was phenomenal. He was everywhere and had so much energy and positive messages. The DJ was awesome. We also enjoyed the stage shows and live band.

Children's Programs

Child didn’t want to participate.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiters were so nice and accommodating. They knew our names and made sure we had everything we needed. The room steward took excellent care of us.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything was clean and well maintained. Our only problem was the laundry rooms. The soap dispensers didn’t work and the machines didn’t always work. Staff did not come very quickly to assist. I spent 3 hours trying to get one load done.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved that it had 2 restrooms to allow the 3 of us space and time to get ready. There is adequate space to hang clothes and shelves for other items. Beds were comfortable.

Ship tip

Make sure you have Dramamine and be prepared to walk a lot.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Spent the night at Moody Garden. Nice hotel with lots to do.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Snorkeling/lunch excursion at National park was fun! Lots of stores at the port to shop. Not a lot of options for souvenir shirts though.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

2 out of 5
Walked the street by beach. Too many vendors begging. Not enough to do. Port vendors had same stuff as other ports.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and organized.
