Review summary

This cruise gave six siblings and spouses a chance to be together and escape the bitter Kansas cold. We enjoyed everything about it and it gave us precious time with one another

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The seated dining was an experience every night --our wait staff ( I Madi, I Gusti, and Alit) went above and beyond service. The choices made us stretch our culinary experiences. We were never hungry on the ship and enjoyed the Mongolian WOK and the hamburger bar

Scarlet Dining Room

5 out of 5

Our seated dining experience is one of the trips highlights--from the unique rare find choices and general formal dining experience we feel our wait staff was the best in the room. I Gusti I Madi and Alit were friendly, attentive and entertaining and brought 13 of us together for meals and memories.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did the water slides, putt putt, and several went to fitness center. Mostly we were able to relax and enjoy our well deserved downtime. We LOVED watching the football game on the big screen

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Probably one of our highlights--we went to all the productions and comedians. Top notch

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Not enough stars to rate this--from early morning to bedtime we were taken care of with friendly smiles. I will name our staff again I Madi, I Gusti and Alit in the dining room and Fathor as our room steward couldn't have been any better

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Clean always and concerned for safety We definitely got our steps in during our time on the ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Amazing

Ship tip

Take it all in--the shows, comedians and deck activities

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
They say Cozomel is one of the very best--we book a snorkeling excursion and the waters were crystal clear and the fish we amazing. The best one in all our travels.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

2 out of 5
If we do this again we will book an excursion--Progresso was pretty iffy but some of our family took the church excursion and said it was beautiful

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We saw first hand the great customer service as the Galveston port was closed due to fog and we spent an extra day on the ship --when we finally docked and faced a 12 hour drive they offered for us to stay the night in our cabins Above and beyond
