Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Our room steward never changed our sheets he just maid the bed. I was sick and required our bathroom while he was cleaning it and he never came back to finish cleaning even though we had additional time on the cruise due to fog.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Only two of the hit tubs on the whole ship work correctly.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The cabin it self was a nice size. However the bathroom shower has a large crack in two of the corners of it with mold.

Ship tip

Plan on the fact that your drink package doesn't work on day one of the cruise. Plan on not using hot tubs as anything but a pool.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

2 out of 5
We paid for the photos and foodie they advertise old ruins, churches, and buildings, none of which are older than 1941.

So sorry for all your delays. We always take out travel insurance, we take it mainly Incase one of us would get sick but have never needed for that. The one time we did use was for a lost bag and they were very fair with us.

This is exactly why we always have trip insurance. For only a couple hundred dollars you could have saved thousands

And they don't change the sheets unless u ask

Hopefully you had a good travel insurance policy that will cover your cost for the delays.

Blame the ship for the fog
