Review summary

Overall this was a really great 1st family cruise. Each of our excursions were well planned and easy to get to. The cruise director Emma was a hoot! She was dressed for every occasion. The meals were delicious and we had an amazing wait staff.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
They were a lot of fun! We enjoyed the CLUE mystery and the evening shows.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
Our 6yr old twins enjoyed the kids club but our older girls (9 & 11) thought there wasn't enough to do. The crafts were aimed at the younger crowd so they left and went to the pool.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was awesome and the wait staff in dining room was AMAZING! The boys loved Nolan and his team.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
We did the Lamanai Ruins and our guides Edgar & Elmer were fantastic with our kids. They really enjoyed learning about the ruins.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the dolphin excursion and beach day here. It was amazing - the dolphins were in an open enclosure and the snorkeling at the beach was fun.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We didn't do the luggage tags and just did our own "carry out." I think overall that was a bad decision - it was too much luggage to carry out.
