Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation process was very smooth and we had no issues with the process

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We did not partake in the main dining room but once, but the wait staff was excellent. We loved the different options of the buffet and ate most meals there. The Blue Iguana was our favorite on board restaurant

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was so much to do. We did trivia, attended shows, went to the clubs, watched movies on the lido deck. There was never a dull moment and we loved everything.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage shows were great, the performers are top notch. The comedians were hiliarious. DJ Sly-Eli was the best, he kept the parties and the club jumping,

Children's Programs

I did not travel with children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was so polite, helpful and attentive. Our cabin steward was great and greeted me by name every time he saw me. Our cruise director Emma was the best

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was always clean and the staff made sure it stayed that way.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We loved the size of this room and it was very comfortable for two adults. Our cabin steward Ariel kept it tidy.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
This is our home port so we have been several times. There are things to do for visitors but it is a working port so its not very scenic

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We took a wonderful tour of Discover Mexico Museum, so informative and educational but with tacos and tequila

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
This port was beautiful and the food delicious. We didn't do an excursion but decided to just walk the port area to eat and shop. If you want your passport stamped, ask directions its hard to find.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
This was our favorite port, the beach was beautiful. The shopping was great, a lot of wood carved items.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
The process was a little slow but that's expected with so many people. We had Faster To The Fun but I don't think it helped with disembarkation
