Review summary

This was a high school graduation cruise for our daughter. My husband and I went on a cruise out of Mobile 10 years ago and were able to go to Cozumel. I was disappointed for our kids that they didn't get to go to Cozumel. However, overall it was relaxing, and there were ample things to do.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very smooth and quick, no issues at all

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The Blue Iguana and Guy's Burgers were GREAT. The deli was pretty good, but the Pizza was GROSS. The food at sit down dinner was just ok, a few things we tried were pretty good, but overall it really was a let down. I expected it to be so much better. We like the melting chocolate cake the best.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Enjoyed the slides. You need either another or bigger pool. Could not even get in pool for over crowding.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The games and trivia was fun. We went to the family friendly comedy shows, they were pretty good. We like Johnny Millwater better. Mike Speenburg spent too much of his act talking and interacting with just a few people on the front row. It ran out of steam a bit for my taste. We sadly missed the Motown show, but did see the 70's party in the atrium. The Country Road and 80's party was really great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

C-Love, Jonathan, Makayla and Rachel are "everywhere". They are all an amazing staff and kept things entertaining and lively and were really fun. The server we had a dinner Sunday night was named Alvin. He is the only one that called us by our names and was very engaging. The others were perfectly fine as well, I just don't know their names. We talked to a sweet girl on deck 10 dining. I'm sorry that I can't recall her name. We asked her all kinds of questions, and she was very friendly to us. I have never seen people work so hard before.

Ship Quality

Very clean!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The bed was very comfy. We slept great. We had grown teenage kids with us in our room. I was expecting it to be a little more crowded feeling, but it was actually ok.

Ship tip

I read tons of tips about not taking too many clothes, and even though we edited down our suitcase, we could have packed even less. You won't need half of the clothes you bring, and an evening outfit can be worn more than once.
