Review summary

Overall we were very happy with everything we did. We are already planning another cruise and the sooner the better.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The porters were very attentive to us and made sure to keep our family together. Even though I am handicapped and use a scooter the gentleman was great at telling me exactly where I needed to go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We especially enjoyed the Scarlet Dining Room. Roderic, Bryan, and Geovanie took such good care of us. My daughter has a nut allergy and Roderic would be sure to make sure she had a special menu every night to pick out what she could eat and have it prepared for her the next night. We thoughly enjoyed Showtime. We had to make sure we were in the dining room every night so we wouldn't miss Showtime

Redfrog Rum Bar

5 out of 5

We enjoyed going down there and have drinks while the movie was going on. Andre, Johnnie, Ray, and Kingsley were so friendly. Those guys really made us feel so welcome and right at home.Even when we were at other parts of the ship on a different deck they would stop and speak and give us a hug.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the movies by the pool on Lido deck each night. The music they had each day was also very enjoyable. I especially liked the steel drum player and the DJ Zen.

Cloud 9 Spa

5 out of 5

Shawnalee did a 12 day shallac treatment on our nails and also a pedacure. She asked us to come back and see her when we got dressed up.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The steeldrum player was very talented and could play just about anything on that one drum. I also enjoyed the music DJ Zen played as well. Really all of the music was enjoyable.

Children's Programs

We didn't have any children on the cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was so friendly and always wore a smile on their face. Our room steward George was so very nice. He made our room so nice and comfortable to come and relax each night. The towel animals were so cute too.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and kept well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our suite was beautiful and very relaxing. We had plenty of room and everything was alwaslys clean an and nice. The only thing we would say that was needed would be a soap dish on the sink. We had our bar of soap on the wrapper all week. Other a.than that everything was great.

Ship tip

Enjoy yourself to the fullest. As soon as you get used to all the fun it is time to go home. :(

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana Did not visit port

We live close so we know about the areas.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We liked shopping and enjoying a drink at Fat Tuesday's. We would have liked going down to the beach but my scooter couldn't go in the sand.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
My daughter an and granddaughter went on the island and enjoyed themselves. I was afraid of the transfer to the other boat for myself to go. We did not do any excursions

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We enjoyed going to all the shops and my daughter and granddaughter went on the lift and saw all the beautiful forest and beach. It was very beautiful.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
I think there should have been security on each floor to help handicapprled people to get an elevator. It was very confusing and dangerous the way things were handled. There should have been a special place for handicapped and their families to get off the ship. Having two lines of people going down and then having wheeldlchairs coming down the middle was dangerous.
