Review summary

This cruise was a lot of fun. I traveled with my family in order to celebrate Christmas.  We got three interior staterooms, as with 6 people, we figured we wouldn't be spending a great deal of time in the rooms. 

 

The state room attendant was very kind and helpful, and the rooms were small but were all we needed for a good nights rest.  The boat had a lot of activities.  We enjoyed the pool for most of our downtime, but we also utilized the gym and the mini golf course, which was a great deal of fun.  

 

The stops the cruise made were excellent, we loved Jamaica, Grand Caymen, as well as Costa Maya, but our favorite was Cozumel.  Despite some rain each stop was a great deal of fun.  The only issue we really had was due to the time of year it got dark before we needed to be back on the boat, causing us to lose time on the island. 

 

Overall great cruise, and I would recommend.

The entertainment was hit or miss this cruise, the carnival dancers put on a couple good shows, and a couple that fell short. The magician left much to be desired.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The stateroom attendant was great. Note that the room is small, so if you are planning to spend a great deal of time in your room, the interior stateroom is probably not for you. Only issue was there was a great deal of rust in the shower.

Skip the Carnival excursions, and rent a vehicle to drive all around the island and stop at the local beaches and bars.
