Review summary

Great first cruise with young kids. Nervous because of it. All worked out great and the kids loved it!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Lines moved quick not sure what cruise some of the people went on cause I thought it went way smoother than 4 previous ones we have done at other ports

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining room food was very good. The lido wasn’t very appealing most of the time. Deli was very good. Guys was awesome as always

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Daughters loved the pool and slides.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Was disappointed with the shows. Haven’t been on any ship in 4 years so not sure if it’s the new norm. But all the “singers” were lip syncing and not actually singing seemed boring

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Our daughters loved it! First time we cruised since kids so was nice

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was AWESOME! Helped us with all our needs.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I thought for the ship being “old” it sure didn’t look like it. First time on a fantasy class ship. Wasn’t a fan of the layout but chalked it up to being used to others.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Enjoyed our room used to having ocean view rooms with a couch. So was bummed to not see one. ( our fault though)

Ship tip

Smaller ship so a lot different layout then other ships. Enjoy your vacation. Don’t sweat small stuff. Too finish WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE ARE WEARING TO DINNER? Like I said enjoy YOUR vacation

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

4 out of 5
We took the free shuttle to town and did the open air bus tour of town. Cheap and easy tour with 2 young kids. Enjoyed it

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Fog rolled in so made major delays. It’s something that happens. Not sure why everyone complains about it. Plan ahead. Don’t book early flights and why be in such a hurry anyway your still on vacation. 🤷🏻‍♂️
