All in all, we had a great time, met some new people and relaxed as we intended. The staff and food were amazing although instructions for ports were not as good as it could have been. All went smooth and we feel like other than the Cozumel excursion, we got our money's worth.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We were super surprised how organized security was. We were actually bumped up to VIP security as we walked through the door...I think it was to help the line move faster and we were in the right place-right time. From parking to boarding, I guesstimate it took 30 minutes.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
I give 4 rather than 5 stars simply because I'm a food snob. Everything was amazing and the lines at buffet, blue iguana and guys burger were short.

The tacos - - - OH MY LORT!
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
We aren't "show" people and we don't really gamble so bingo and some of the other on stage stuff was a little hokey for me. But having said that, they offered a lot of things to do so there is something for most everyone.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
I LOVE this concept! If you want to be kid free, this is the spot to be in! The only thing lacking on this boat in Serenity was an actual pool. If they had one, I didn't really need to be anywhere else on the boat.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
From our room steward to the wait staff, they were all amazing! They remembered our names and took great care to make sure we got everything we needed.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
We walk A LOT. There were times we found ourselves looking for a way up to the next deck. It made for good adventure but could flow a little better. My husband has a great sense of direction but we got turned around in some places.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
No issues at all. Clean all the time, always stocked with clean towels and toilet paper and a new towel animal every day. No complaints.
Ship tip
Eat the tacos more than once! You won't regret it. This ship is also on the small side so we will probably try a larger ship next time.
The tender process was a little confusing for first timers. We were not given clear direction on how to get off the ship. We had to chase down answers which was super stressful.
Our excursion was awesome (barrier reef snorkeling) and shopping was expected.
I'm sure Cozumel would be awesome but we took a not so awesome excursion (Paradise Island). The ride out and back was awesome but we didn't get to enjoy the destination because we stood in god-awful long lines to get food and drink. On top of that, we didn't get to experience Cozumel much because the excursion ran late so we came back late. No time to shop at all.
