This was my first cruise and I had an amazing experience!!! I did a lot of research beforehand and decided I wanted to go on a small ship with a short itinerary to get a feel for things and I absolutely loved it! I went in with so many plans of what i wanted to do, but I ended up in Serenity and restaurants the majority of my time and was extremely happy! Would definitely sail this ship and itinerary again!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
The port in Mobile was easy to get to and the parking was convenient. I thought it was a good price of $76 for 4 nights. We went through the port and got on the ship in less than 30 minutes.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We had dinner in the main dining room the first night we boarded the ship. Food was excellent! Loved the chocolate melting cake! The rest of the time we enjoyed the omelette station and Blue Iguana for breakfast. We often had Guy's Burgers or Blue Iguana for lunch and dinner also. The pizza was average and lines were usually long so we ate that only once. We did the dinner buffet one night, which was my least favorite dining experience. Some of the choices were not great, but I found a couple things I liked. A lot of foods on the buffet seemed dry. I enjoyed the salad bar, fresh fruits, and ice cream stations also. **All venue reviews are listed here**
Guy's Burger Joint
5 out of 5
LOVED these burgers and the toppings bar. Fast and delicious, but get there EARLY because there will be lines.
Blue Iguana Cantina

For breakfast, the burritos were great! My husband enjoyed the lunch tacos and I enjoyed the lunch burritos.
Jubilee Dining Room

We only ate here the first night but food was wonderful and service was fast! I think we were finished within an hour and everything was great!
Pizzeria

Pizza was average and lines were always long, but that didn't matter, we just ate elsewhere.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Our favorite place on the ship was the Serenity area. We stayed there most of the time but we also enjoyed the giant chess board on our first rainy sea day and areas where there was live music.
The Serenity
5 out of 5
My favorite place on the ship! So relaxing and great views! The hot tubs were hot and the Serenity attendant, Gain, was wonderful! He always made sure to speak to us and made sure we were enjoying ourselves.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We did not attend any shows but the Super Bowl party and showing in the big theater was so much fun!
Universe Main Show Lounge
5 out of 5
We played bingo here and also watched the Super Bowl here. Great area! We enjoyed watching the game and the tailgate style food served during the game.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward Eka was great, as well as our attendant Gain in the Serenity area. We always were greeted by staff members we passed when walking through the ship.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
We always saw crew members cleaning on the ship and keeping common areas picked up and clearing tables in food areas quickly. This was our first cruise so it took us awhile to get the hang of where we needed to go but I enjoyed the layout. I suppose since this is the smallest ship it was very convenient getting to where we want to go.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was perfect sized for 2 people. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Air conditioner worked great! Very clean! If I had one complaint, it would be the shower size. I felt it was a little cramped, but that is to be expected in the smallest room category.
Ship tip
The HUB app was great to keep up with what's happening while on the go. Just have fun and go with the flow!
We went to Mr. Sanchos for the day. Francisco was WONDERFUL!! Food and drinks were great and fast! Will definitely go back every time we visit Cozumel!
Amazing!!! We were docked and off of the ship, through customs and in our car before we were even supposed to have been docked because the ship arrived early. Very fast! I'd say maybe 20-30 minutes total.
