Review summary

Overall, the cruise was good. The lack of live entertainment was disappointing, but the food, drinks, and service were great.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The bathrooms at the terminal didn’t have running water. They were late getting us on the ship. The check-in process was fast and smooth though.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food and drinks were excellent in all venues. It would be nice to have a Red Frog Pub and have half priced drinks on embarkment day, like on the Valor.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
My husband and brother played Cornhole. There were only two bags and the boards were in bad shape. They had new ones toward the end of the cruise though.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Compared to other cruises we have been on, this cruise was lacking in entertainment. There were only two shows in the auditorium and they mostly sat on stools and sang. On other cruises we have been on, there were live bands in at least one of the bars. This one did not have that. We enjoyed the comedian, Just June.

Children's Programs

We did not have children on the cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was better than the other cruises we have been on. Our room steward cleaned our room perfectly and was super helpful and friendly. Our waiters were outstanding. We had quick friendly service. They gave us extra food if we wanted to try something. And they remembered our names and preferences.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
We were disappointed that it didn’t have a Red Frog Pub, like the Valor. The ship needed a few improvements but it was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was the same size as the other cabins we have stayed in. It was very clean. The bed was super comfy. We loved the balcony.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

3 out of 5
There was no running water when we checked-in. So the toilets were nasty. Otherwise it was good.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
It was way too crowded. Drinks were watered down. The island and beach were beautiful though.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Loved this port. Shopping and drinks were great. Beautiful views from the ship.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
The port is beautiful. We went to Paradise Beach. Best excursion we have ever been on. The whole place was absolutely beautiful! The food, drinks, and the service were top notch.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was very quick and not eventful.
