Review summary

Embarkation was easy. Costa Maya and Cozumel were great ports. Didn't really require an excursion. For my kid's first cruise, it was a good time.

Ship tip

Bring a good attitude. Smaller ship. One pool. Fewer activities, but there is still fun to be had.

Nice and fair review. We leave on the Fantasy next week. This is our 14th cruise and we always research before we book. We are looking forward to a smaller ship.

Glad you enjoyed it. Attitude and expectations make all the difference. I have seen several negative reviews about the ship, food, service, etc. I’m not sure how some seem to find a way to be miserable on a cruise.
