Review summary

The cruise was fantastic. The rooms were nice, the food was good, the ship was very clean and well kept. The staff was fantastic. Everyone had a smile and treated us very nicely. All of the staff did what they could to see to it that everyone had a good time. The shows were fun and Malcom the program director was so funny and did a great job. It was well organized and I would recommend it.

Explore the ship and do everything you can. You do not need as much clothing as you think you might. Try new dishes with you meals. The food is excellent.

Tvhjannise, we are on deck 7 mid-ship. We booked deck 3 ocean view the last two cruises, but I decided on a balcony this time.

Tvhjannise, we are beach people. So we're trying to decide what beach we are going to on in Mo Bay and Grand Cayman. Our fav in Cozumel is Paradise Beach

Eorndoff, we are on September 24th also. I'm so ready to go. My husband and my sons are tired of hearing about it everyday. If I could only get them to decide on what we are going to do when we port. 😊

I'm nervous too! I've never been on a cruise before and I'm kind of scared of choppy seas.. But I heard there's nothing to worry about.. They are always looking at the weather and try to avoid any unpleasant waters.
