Review summary

Wonderful cruise for the price. LOVED the Grand Caymans and Cozumel. Look for John the bar tender by the pool, he is the best, even for water or pop. Take time to see some shows and enjoy the ship activities!

Food was excellent! Staff always ready to clean, refill dishes, bus plates off table. Never went hungry on the ship :)

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We were lucky to get to the pool early and get chairs. It was HOT and the pool felt wonderful. The fitness room was great. We took advantage of the sauna and steam room a couple times! Both were relaxing!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were awesome. Comedians were SO funny, our faces hurt from laughing! Musicians were very talented, variety of music every day.

Service and Staff

John, the bar tender by the pool, is the BEST!! He made arriving on the Lido deck every morning enjoyable! He knew our orders and was ready for us to come to the bar! He said good bye after his shifts and kept a very clean bar :)

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozmel does not disappoint! We went on the beginner scuba diving excursion. It was SO fun and amazing! We want to get certified now! The beach after the excursion was friendly and service was very good. This was a great stop!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We chose not to wait in our rooms until dismissal this time and instead went up to the Lido deck. Better decision as people did not start getting off the ship until 9:30. Best just to plan to not get off the ship until 11:30. Maybe different if we had flown and had early flight release.
