Review summary

This cruise experience was as exciting as I thought. The only think that perturbed me was the long lines for Embarking and Debarking. That process could be streamlined better. Not, sure but that is the most aggravating process. Also, the Safety meeting that everyone has to go when there is an evacuation emergency.This process could be changed, not everyone needs to go at the same time after we just arrived on the ship after standing in long lines and then have to go through this again. But visiting each port in Cozumel, Belize,Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras,George Town, Grand Cayman. All locations and tour guides were great. I would go again!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

They really keep the ship clean and the rooms are clean all the time.

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was great for two people, I like that I was not cramped with my husband. It was always clean and keep stocked with towels.

Ship tip

I forgot about the Fish and chips but every time I would go it was closed. So visit it early to enjoy it. The quiet place was on Lido deck at the Aft of the ship for a very quiet and enjoyable time away from everyone. Plus On deck five not many people went to the area near the Alchemy Bar.

Maritime law states that whenever new passengers embark, a safety briefing must be held immediately before sailing or immediately after departure. Unfortunately, that policy won't change. After the sinking of the Costa Concordia, (who did not have their safety briefing before it sank) they really started to crack down on making sure people are immediately informed right away.

You need to buy faster to the fun next time you sail. We were eating lunch on the lido deck at 12:00 while everyone else was waiting in lines.
