The Serenity

4 out of 5

Loved this area! Never had a problem getting a chair and the view was wonderful! Sometimes drink service was slow but the bar was close by. Stairway directly to it was under repair so a bit of a walk.

Friendly, helpful staff in all areas.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Somewhat difficult to get from certain parts of the ship to others. Areas were clean and maintained well. Due to the recent damage to the back, two stairwells were closed meaning a long walk to access the back of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Clean, lots of storage. Small but workable.

Ship tip

Enjoy the decks outside of the pool area, book an excursion, and eat at all the places at least once.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5

Excursion to the Uxmal ruins was the absolute best tour. Lots of walking and climbing as well as a 1.5 hour bus drive to and from but so worth it.

Thumbs Up 1

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

A rainy day but we enjoyed the VIP private villa home. Snorkeling was wonderful and the staff was exceptional. Food prepared fresh and drinks were plentiful. The area was quiet and beautiful.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Pretty smooth. We kept our luggage and had to wait outside of our room so it could be cleaned. We were the last deck called to leave but it went fairly quick.
