Review summary

Nice itinerary for our honeymoon. My wife had so much fun that she asked for another cruise for her Christmas gift!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ships were sailing half capacity and we didn't even have to sit in the terminal after checking in. We immediately boarded.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Everything we had was good.

BlueIguana Cantina

5 out of 5

My favorite are the burritos, while my wife loves their tacos. She always asks for chicken and shrimp in the same taco.

Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B- Que Smokehouse

4 out of 5

Delicious bbq. Avoid the Mac and cheese on embarkation day because it's always watered down. It's cheesey on seadays though.

Guy's Burger Joint

5 out of 5

The burgers and fries were good back then and we could actually get the Chipotle mayo back then too.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The hot tubs on the serenity deck were actually hot like they should be. We haven't found them to be that hot since then.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows were good and fun to see. We only liked 1 comedian out of the 3 we saw of 4. One was so bad, we walked out after about 10 minutes along with many others.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We felt like royalty and the staff would always remember our names and say hello when they saw us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We fell in love with having 2 bathrooms and a huge window to sit in. My wife was happy she could take baths. I didn't use the tub on this trip, but I use it every cruise now too.

Ship tip

You can find the ship coin higher than the lido deck. 😉 I'm not giving an exact location though. Don't forget to order 2 lobster tails on formal night 2. If you want a 3rd it will cost $5

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

We spent the day at Mr. Sancho's being catered to. We enjoyed the all inclusive. We liked sitting in the bar swings, and Jersey made the best drinks!

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

We came down 2 days before our cruise and spent an entire day at a place called Rage Cage. It's located on the strand. We enjoyed the arcade, ace throwing, a break room, airsoft target practice, and sumo suit wrestling. It was a fun filled way to kick off our honeymoon!
