Review summary

This cruise was an early anniversary cruise for my hubby and I. The cruise was very relaxing with just the right amount of time in ports vs sea days. The CD (Keegan) and the Fun Squad kept things light and entertaining on the ship and events were well thought out and timed. Plenty of places to lounge around on the upper decks. Really enjoyed the lido pool configuration with seating in/around pool area. Food venues were nice and service was quick.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick. Staff very helpful and kind in providing clear instruction.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food in the MDR, Guy’s Burger, and Blue Iguana (breakfast) was fantastic! Buffet lines at lunch could be long but seemed to move pretty quickly. Options somewhat limited but still plenty of variety to choose from. Liked how vegan and gluten-free options clearly marked in MDR menu.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Attended several Playlist Performances, Trivia, comedy, and other events. Fun Squad and our CD (Keegan) kept the mood fun and light-hearted.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Playlist performances were enjoyable to watch. Get there early for best seating.

No kiddos traveled with us this trip.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff members were attentive, kind , and available when needed

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Older ship showing normal wear and tear but overall still beautiful and well kept.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin worked perfect for 2 adults. Would have been nice to have outlets closer to bedside tables for charging phones overnight (only outlets available are on vanity).

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
Stayed night before cruise and did own exploring. Easy travel to port the next morning.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Did not enjoy the port itself, however ventured to nearby village of Mahahual where we spent the day at El Faro beach club and ate the best fish tacos of our trip! Definitely will visit again if at this port.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Did a little shopping in ports; lots of variety but vendors can be a bit pushy. Left port to spend day at Del Mar Latino adult-only all inclusive. Food and drinks were good. Snorkeling was amazing!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The new digital disembarkation process made getting off the ship timely and really help with congestion knowing when exactly to be ready and head to the gangway.
