Review summary

My husband and I spent a great deal of our time in Medical on the ship. The staff in Medical were very caring and as helpful as was possible. Dr. Alvarez and Dr. Dinihi did their very best to set my arm but I had surgery when I got home to repair the breaks. Thank you Medical staff for your constant attention and advice. We enjoyed our cruise as much as was possible considering.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We thought the food in the main dining room was very good. We had breakfast at the buffet every morning and it was good as well.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Broke my arm the 1st morning and could not enjoy the pools, hot tubs, climbing etc. No excursion in Cozumel or Belize.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved the Rock show, the 80's trivia, 90's not so much.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had great service, Zuban was our head waiter and did a few magic tricks for us. Wibawa was very entertaining and made us laugh often. Igusti was a little quieter than the other 2 but very helpful. They all made our dining experience pleasurable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All areas were clean and well maintained the layout was functional and the ship was beautiful.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our room was very comfortable, seemed larger than we expected. It was very clean. Our room steward Raphael was always working in someone's room. Very friendly and helpful.

Ship tip

Make sure you have your sea legs before moving around to much.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
The port itself was great but the city of New Orleans was filthy and unimpressive.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We only saw the private hospital this trip. The ship's medical staff sent us there. We have been to Cozumel on 2 other vacations when we flew there and stayed on the island for a week at a time. We love this place!

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
We only got to go to the port shops, we had an excursion planned but was unable to Kayak with a broken wrist. Our family did the excursion and really enjoyed it.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Daniel Johnson's Monkey and Sloth Hangout was a wonderful experience. The beach at Mahogany Bay was wonderful. I could only wade into the water but even that was enjoyable. We were able to have this day with our family. Their were 12 of us and this was really the only day we all did the excursion we had planned.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Pretty quick and orderly for so many people.

Oh my! What happened? Please don't tell me that you got struck by one of the ship's automatic doors!! Hope you are healing well, and, hope you had a few good memories to reflect on as you heal!

One question. I have been reading about high Ship's Doctor bills. Are you being billed? Ship's fault. Sorry for you and your arm.
