Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Our room steward was awesome. Knew our names everywhere we went. Probably the best worker i had seen on the ship. Other personnel were rude or just acted as if they didnt see us. Especially on the back bar.

Was very clean. Only thing was the king bed is 2 twins. They kept coming apart and made it hard to sleep

Ship tip

Book activities everywhere. All the activities provided were not up to any kind of standard

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

1 out of 5
People are very pushy and will come up to you the whole time. I tried to snorkel at a beach and the so called lifeguard called us back. He said you went passed the bouy. I said no look there's people further than us. I really wanted my money back from snorkeling as it ruined that port

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

2 out of 5
We did a so called private island and theres way too many people with you. Staff very rude. Made us wear floation device which was not needed. As i am a freediver i explained they were very rude to me amd said right away wear it or you can't go out snorkeling... Horrible.....

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Probably the best port. Had an awesome guide. Only thing was there was hardly any fish and dead coral.

Such a shame you spent all that money and had a horrible time. I’m sure the workers wanted you to wear the flotation device for your own safety. They don’t know you or how well you can swim. They didn’t want to liable for you drowning. Can’t blame them for that.

You seem to be unhappy about everything. I would start to read your comment and it would start out good so thought ok she’s happy with this then there was always a “But”. You might want to reconsider cruising. Maybe you should vacation another way. We always go with an open mind know that not everyone is happy all the time and S**t Happens”. We usually come home thrilled with the enjoyable time we had.

As cruisers we can not have everything u ask for It is a vacation not a way of life. People ie staff can have bad days too. Enjoy what u can n make the most of where u are. Look around at the beauty n never complain to mother nature.

Sounds like cruising is not for you or Spenser808 Since you both posted the exact same reviews on everything and did not seem to be happy with much of anything.
