Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet selection was not very good, long lines, staff stood there not really wanting to give the food out. Guys burgers was good but overcooked most of the time.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Couldn't use the pools because to many kids. Not enough activites for kids. Kids were constantly running everywhere and into people.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Not a good selection of music, comedians were good but need a bigger place for the shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was great!!! Henry was very helpful and nice. Always had a smile and even reported to us if he saw our son and what he was doing. Henry is a good guy. Most of the other staff greeted us and was pleasant except the Buffett staff.

We were on the same cruise and loved the stop in progreso. I would recommend purchasing an excursion at this port. We did Mayan ruins and cenote swimming. It was our favorite excursion.
