Ship Quality

3 out of 5

I like this size ship as opposed to some Mega ships. At least you feel like you are sailing. Could have used more seating on deck 7 to hear piano player

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Had to crawl over table to exit one side of the bed. Good large shower. Towels plentiful but a bit stiff.

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

Get cheap beers and haggle for a beach massage. Mayan ruins are interesting if you are a history buff
