Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Staff at the bar we frequented were amazing. Remembered who were and what we drank, so friendly and helpful. The dinner dining was awesome, great food, lunches and breakfast in the main area were not awesome...but still good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Above and beyond helpful. Maybe being our first cruise and coming from Australia and getting on an American boat, we might not be use to this kind of attention and service...we couldn't fault a thing

We didn't go on a tour, but probably should have, just got off and walked around... a bit scary. Margaritaville was good.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
There are no words. Favourite port of the cruise!! Beautiful white sand. Went on the aqua bus and the submarine dive, so much fun!!! Hard Rock for lunch. Found my retirement place :-))

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Went to the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins. The history and grounds were fantastic. Our guide was a bit hard to understand but that didn't really ruin anything. Great day

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Just did some shopping on the dock... was a bit sick from the night before (if you know what I mean)
