Review summary

This was a great trip, and I highly recommend it. Loved Cozumel. Was not as in love with Jamaica, but overall the trip was really good. The boat was great, but very crowded and very busy.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy embarkation except for traffic at drop off point.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Some dining room meals were excellent; others not so much. I feel food quality has gone down over last 2 years. Sour cream that was always runny, entrees just not as good as before. Room service not as good as it used to be either. Reuben was horrible and inedible. Coffee was nasty strong. Couldn’t drink it most of the time which is a shame as I enjoy coffee and relaxation on my deck.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Courteous helpful and caring. Our room steward was amazing!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All clean. All well maintained. Enjoyed my cabin location. Near elevators to almost anywhere. Wish dining room was mid ship and not all the way back.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beds a little too close together to get in and out comfortably, but otherwise cabin was good.

Ship tip

Bring a suitcase with wheels that is big enough to balance other items, carry ons etc, to make debarkation easier.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Spent 3 days on own.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Not much to offer if you didn’t do an excursion. I would skip it.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Beautiful water. Difficult to get off boat on tenders... bring your dramamine. Plenty if shore options. Just be careful about shopping at Diamonds International, rip off artists.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Land and sea excursion was excellent. Enjoyed the shopping close to the ship too. Plenty yo do. A must return trip.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Wait wasn’t bad, but Allowing families to take a large luggage down the escalator caused problems, the escalator had to be shut down for a while, and a child and most fell down the stairs. All people carrying large luggage with the rollers should be made to take an elevator.
