Review summary

Great cruise! Loved the crew! Ship was small, but fun and ports were great!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was pretty easy. Traffic into the port, driving, was hectic. Traffic was very backed up and at a standstill for quite some time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was good for the most part. I had the Chocolate Melting Cake every night in the dining room and it wasn't the same 2 nights, ever. It was either REALLY runny or almost cooked throughout, never actually like a molten cake. Adding peanut butter to the center was the best decision of my life!! Drinks were great!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows were AMAZING!! These performers know what they're doing and it shows! Very memorable and entertaining.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was AMAZING!! Our room steward was the best, leaving little details in our room and knowing us when he saw us around. Very pleased with all of the staff.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship's layout was a little cramped (mainly around the atrium), but that was expected with such a small ship. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire ship. There was always a "clean" smell everywhere I went.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was clean and surprisingly spacious. The reading lamp above the bunk bed was a nice feature.

Ship tip

Interact with your fun squad. They're alot of fun!!

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

4 out of 5
Shopping was great! Best prices on souvenirs are here! We also sat in a bar for awhile right at the entrance of the port. FREE Wi-Fi and cheap drinks! The food was good, but pricey.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We did the SeaTrek helmet dive in Cozumel at Jennie's Restaurant. The excursion was fun, but the sea life was pretty non-existent in this area except a small school of fish. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but I was expecting more animals. I took an underwater camera that I was allowed to use myself, so we didn't purchase the (overpriced) photos and video they took for us.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It was a slow start, but once it was our turn to go, it flew. Maybe a 30 minute total process.

Yes, Phillipsfam6. Ask for a side of peanut butter and drop it in the center of your cake. You won't regret it!

Do you just ask for a side of peanut butter with the molten cake? That sounds great!

Mikey the Cruise Director made the Cruise for me! He was so fun and entertaining! This ship will definitely miss him!
