Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was just ok. Not great but not bad. Buffet was the same every day. The dining room was good food!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The mini golf was fun but kinda small. The pool was refreshing but the water slide did dump into the pool, but now they have a waterpark.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Very talented people on our cruise! There was always something to do!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff went above and beyond!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship layout is easy access. It was a very pretty ship. Very very clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
A turned inside cabin- Very different. The bed is weird so we asked to have them separated because it is right up against the wall. The phone was above the bed. Not much room when bed is pushed together. The bathroom was small. The cabin wasn’t dirty though!

Ship tip

Late dining is more relaxing.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

4 out of 5
Nice and historical port! Come a day early or stay a day after so you can see.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
Wasn’t to happy with this port. We did the Mayan ruins it was fun and exciting but the staff were rude and it rained off and on.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Great port! We did Mr.Sanchos, super fun!! Can’t wait to go back!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and shuttle took us straight to the airport right when we were out of the terminal.
