Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Dinner in the Posh dining room each night offered new variety nightly. Breakfast from the buffet each morning offered everything a person could want for breakfast. I at lunch from somewhere different most days (Guy’s Burgers, Blue Iguana Cantina, Deli, Pizza Pirate, Guy’s BBQ). Everything tasted good and it didn’t take long to get.

Onboard Activities

I raced my granddaughter down the water slides a few times which was fun. I got a massage from the spa which was amazing.

The room size accommodate 3 people well. The beds were comfortable, and the room stayed cool.

Ship tip

Take the stairs instead of the elevator to burn off calories of all the food you’ll eat.

I didn’t do an excursion. The parking was close and easy to get to the terminal.

Cozumel, Mexico

I liked this port. I enjoyed an excursion to San Gervasio Mayan Ruins that included a visit to the beach and a Mayan lunch. The lunch was the best food I had the entire trip.

I like this port as well as a visit to a waterfall and Dolphin Cove.
