Review summary

Being this was my first experience on a cruise there was a lot of things I felt was exceptional that my friend thought was not. I had no expectations to look toward and to me the best part about the complete trip was total relaxation with no contact to the out side world. Then views all the way around. Seeing what people live in daily how beautiful the areas are kept and some not so pretty. The oceans are so beautiful that to look at our waters at home is just sickening. I will for sure be taking another cruise in the future.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
On food and drinks the biggest complaint I have is that I am diabetic and there are not a lot of diabetic choices.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We enjoyed walking around the ship shops they were quite pricey, The quarter drop machines in the casino was fun and eating was a plus. Could not play putt putt due to 40 plus mph winds. I was not able to enjoy pools nor hot tubs due to unsupervised children filled them at all times. Even in the casino we had a hard time trying to get a waiter to serve us.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows in the entertainment room and the hall way bar shows were great it was very friendly people that were very talented.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service from room staff could not have been better Marlou and his crew was the best! Waiters around the ship were hard to catch to get drinks and the bar waiters were not friendly and only waited on there choice of people. JUST FYI MARLOU AND HIS CREW IS THE ONLY REASON I RATED A 5 BECAUSE THEY DESERVED IT!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship stayed well cleaned and there was always some sort of maintenance in process.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This being my first cruise and my friends many we loved the balcony room it was exceptionally clean and roomy and we really enjoyed it. I am not certain I would be able to stay in a smaller room.

Ship tip

If you have not ever been on a cruise this one was a wonderful trip for us and I would suggest you book yours as soon as possible.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Very clean lots of places to view Our excursion was Attractions with Dolphins. I was very disappointed they would not allow us to take photos for any reason and they wanted absolutely to much for the photos they took. I did not purchase photos and only have my memories due to them trying to make a fortune from 1 photo much less a package. Other than the attraction all other areas were great the food and service exceptional bar tenders were the best ever! We had a great time.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
We paid for priority and upgraded and due to them taking so long to get the luggage out we were the 3rd floor called and had to walk a mile to stand in line taking us over 45 min just to get off of the boat!

I agree that one of the best things about a cruise is the complete electronic disconnect. That adds so much to the relaxation.
