Review summary

Wonderful experience other than the rough 1st day at sea wherein everybody was getting seasick. The rest of the cruise was nice and I'm planning on booking another cruise within the next month for 2021.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and efficient. Better than my 2019 cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Very nice - loved our server BUDAH.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Mainly rested and watched the activities on the Lido Deck. Great entertainment!!!!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
I thoroughly enjoyed the outside entertainment; but, the musicials were not 5-star productions in my mind. The male lead singer drowned out his female soloist/lead singer. His mic was entirely too loud and did not blend with the other performers. I was a bit disappointed after seeing both musicals and no change the 2nd show.

Children's Programs

I was traveling alone - no kids this time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Top notch service staff. All were very friendly and helpful the couple of times I needed something.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Yes, very clean at all times and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was perfect for me. I prefer having a cabin to myself and mine was perfect. Will definitely book an outside stateroom next cruise - I love looking out the window at night as we are sailing.

Ship tip

Don't take every piece of clothing in your closet to wear. Pack light and just enjoy all the entertainment and good food. Last bit of advice would be introduce yourself to your Cruise Director and chat with him/her. Wonderful person to talk to.

Ports of call

Mobile, Alabama Did not visit port

This was my port to cruise from.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico Did not visit port

Stayed on board ship due to being sick. Just enjoyed relaxing by the pool, resting and reading a book.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
2nd time visiting this port and thoroughly enjoyed the few hours browsing and talking to my newly made friends on the ship.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Long! People from other floors were trying to leave the ship when the first floor was disembarking. Making a public announcement of disembarking floors should be reviewed and a different method embraced - maybe by using your cabin steward's help in delivering the floor disembarkation plan the night before.

We were on the same cruise and didn’t get sea sick. My wife can get sea sick fairly easy and she didn’t have any problem. However, we were aware that some cruisers did get sick. In all fairness it wasn’t everyone. It’s worth staring at the horizon out on deck to help if you do feel queasy. Bonine can also help w/o the side effect of making you sleepy. It was a really nice cruise wasn’t it. Thank you for your post and happy cruising.
