Review summary

My family and I had a great time. We enjoyed visiting Mahogany Bay and Cozumel and were terribly disappointed that Belize was cancelled. Would have been better to spend an extra day in Cozumel rather than going to Progreso. I never felt more unsafe in my entire life. We are planning on more cruises with the hopes of avoiding Progreso!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was good. How ever once we were in our cabin, it had yet to be cleaned.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Most of my meals were pretty good. I wouldnt say that they were over the moon or anything. Our meal at the steak house, however, was great! The melting chocolate cake was amazing!! It was the only dessert that I did like.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The hot tub was cold. The pool was OK.

Entertainment

Didn't go to any.

Children's Programs

Our little girl loved being a penguin at camp ocean. She only went twice but had a great time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiter, Efferin and bus boy, Jeovanne, along with others and our hostess were just amazing people. They did a fantastic job and made our little girl feel like a princess. Our cabin boy, Herry, was just as sweet as he could be. However, we never received turn down service or an ice bucket. There were a few days that he was late cleaning our cabin and then it wasn't complete.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Layout was great and everything was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Upon arrival our cabin had not been cleaned. It wasn't completely cleaned each day and some days cleaning was later than requested. The size of the cabin was perfect. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I wanted to bring them home!

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
It was beautiful! We went on the pirates, monkeys and birds excursion. It was fun, but would have been better had it not rained.

Belize City, Belize Did not visit port

We did not visit this port due to a tropical storm. Really wanted to visit, we were very disappointed. Progreso was a terrible exchange for Belize.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We did enjoy Cozumel. We didn't do an excursion, but we did go into town send do a little shopping,not to mention the shopping we did on port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

I have been to Belize .... It was beautiful and we enjoyed it very much. Yes... The weather has to be good for the tender boats to come out.

Missed ports/changed ports are not uncommon at all when cruising. Flexibility is really important when you cruise.
