Review summary

For the first time, I had a free cruise offer for an interior. Who can turn that down? Made a girls trip out of it with my daughter and grand daughter. For the most part, we had a great time. The ship had to have been close to 💯 capacity. Lines were long and staff was short. They were all working hard and it was great get away. I miss 50-60% capacity. Those were the days!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fast and efficient. VeriFLY worked smoothly and was on the ship in no time without having to show my vaccine and test records.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

In my opinion, food in the MDR has declined since the restart of cruising.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Blame it on quarantines or employee shortages, idk, but no broadway style shows were ever done. Not once.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

This is an interior cabin with cabins above and below BUT avoid it like the plague! You can hear every speaker from the theater. Even though no broadway shows, the music from bingo, special guests, and comedy shows pounded the floor.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

I love the port but lately, there have been way too many ships in port and there are too many choke points with all the foot traffic.
