Review summary

Park West was definitely our favorite part of the cruise. The art work they offer is world class and Alan and his team were professional, friendly and efficient. They made the whole cruise worthwhile.

 

The food was great and our balcony cabin was lovely. Karim, our steward, was wonderful. 

 

The nightlife was mediocre and the ports were nothing, but tourist traps. 

 

We were incredibly disappointed there were no Christmas Eve or Christmas days religious services offered! How sad!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

The vendors at the Mayan site were nice, but you need to haggle.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
One big shopping mall, but at least more upscale than the other sites.
