Review summary

This was an overall nice cruise. We enjoyed the dinners in the dinning room and the stops were nice. We liked Cozumel, and loved Grand Cayman. Both were clean and friendly.

Ship Quality

It was very clean but the design and flow was frustrating.

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was nice but we must have been right under the nighttime staff because it was very noisy at night with a lot of clanking around and people moving about.

Ship tip

Go to the restaurants for breakfast, the Mongolian Wok or Burrito Bar for lunch, and the Dinning room/ restaurants for dinner. The buffet didn't cut it.

Go to the Turtle Farm. It was fun to hold the turtles and a lot of fun to swim with them and the fish in the manmade lagoon.

Take a taxi to a nearby beach and snorkel there. That way you're on your own time and it's way cheaper. About $60 bucks for two of us for to and from taxi, use of snorkel gear, and a drink each.
