Overall a nice cruise. Not overly crowded like the bigger ships. The ship needs some updates but was comfortable. Biggest complaint was unable to grab a soda when I wanted like on other ships. Hated going to the bar for that.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The main dinning rooms were just like every carnival cruise. The food was good but they could change up the menu.
Buffet was the same.
We ate at Guys burgers quite a few times. Quick service and burgers are good.
BUBBLE drinks package… you must go to the bar to get a soda. I was very irritated at this. The bar workers don’t want to wait on you once they know your just getting a soda and not alcohol. There are no fountains for you to just get one yourself as like on the other ships where you just scan your card and fill your cup. LONG waits just for a coke. Plus they have to open your can for you. They don’t want you taking the can unopened. I was able to convince a worker one time to leave it unopened but I was in the dinning room.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Needed more activities on ship. They rotate the same movies so you have an opportunity to see the one you want. Bingo, shopping, and casino all ok. The show I attended was good. High energy from the cast.
The comedians the first part of the cruise were funny but the other 2 on the last part were not that funny. People were leaving.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our steward for our room was wonderful and cleaned our room once a day. Fixed our shower drain that was clogged. He kept our room clean and stocked with linens.
The waiters and all other staff we very friendly and worked hard trying to keep things clean. They do need more staff in the food areas. The whole trip I had only 2 waiters ask if I needed a drink.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Needs a few updates in the rooms. The ship was easy to navigate. The food areas needed to be cleaned more often but I think it was due to not enough staff.
Long waits at the elevators.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our room was at the very back of the ship with extended balcony. Lots of room on balcony and quiet except when docking. Comfortable bed and ac worked good in this cabin. Plenty of storage but no couch in this balcony room. Had an extra table instead.
Ship tip
Book excursions before hand, have your printed boarding pass and Identification ready.
Went to the beach. Had chairs, a pool, umbrellas for $5 if you wanted shade, I recommend in case a shower comes by plus gives you a break from the sun. Food and drinks there for you to purchase and an area to shower off. Nice clean beach and water area.
Beautiful and everything is right there as you get off the ship. There is a small bus that will take you to the shore for tips if you don’t want to walk.
Lots of shopping, big pool for everyone to chill in, a massage place that is way cheaper than the ship and it was great! The dolphins are there as well so you can watch others.
Took the train tour. Seats a little hard but a nice hour long excursion for a quick run down of Belize. Had to tender to and from the ship. Tenders ran about every 20-30 minutes. Lots of shopping.
Pretty fast, we had to gangways to use. BUT they need a special line for users with wheelchairs, walkers and electric mobility devices. They tended to hold up the line ALOT.
Also have your passport, if your using your birth certificate the line was SUPER super long to get off the ship. We passed all those people and their wait had to have been over an hour in line.
