Entertainment

5 out of 5
Dj was awesome really enjoyed his music quite a bit. Chris the cruise director was so amazing he was filled with energy the entire time and was always around the ship and made you feel at home. Josh the bingo host and karaoke host was amazing very friendly and made you feel like you were at home. Hanna (worked morning breakfast) she would walk around and greet every single person in the morning breakfast area even the deck saying good morning to everyone. I will miss that because she made our morning so much brighter.

Children's Programs

No children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Again would like to say Marco was a waiter at blue iguana bar he was so polite and friendly. Josh bingo host was amazing again he is such a friendly person he got me to do karaoke and open up and have a good time. He was all over the ship and never had a dull moment with him he made my group all open up.

We were going to do an excursion but it was such heavy rain we really didnโ€™t get to do much. The driver that took us to our excursion actually drove us around the island and showed us things off the beaten path for shopping etc. he took us to a local spot with rescued animals. that we could play with such as monkeys, macaws, sloths and spider monkeys. I did not like progresso at all it was such a long drive to the main city nothing really to do but shop. Beggars followed the tour guide around and we were overcharged for the food we ate and had to get that corrected they were just using us as an opportunity.

Belize City, Belize Did not visit port

We werenโ€™t able to due to a tropical depression and this was the only reason why we booked

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I had the most fun here for shopping safety eating and just overall my groups favorite. The water was beautiful the things to do there were plentiful.

Disembarkation

Energy of the staff is one part. Another part is your willingness to seek happy adventures aboard the ship. Glad you both combined to provide a happy cruise experience.
