Review summary

This cruise had great ports but a lot of ups and downs. Unfortunately the downs outweighed the ups for me. I lt turned me off from cruising for a while.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were priority as we stayed in a suite so it was fast and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dining room menu was only appealing a couple nights- I am a semi picky person but there were several meals I got pizza bc there was was nothing ‘normal’ on the buffet.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools were either dirty or full. Movies aboard were not appropriate for my kids. Kids loved the sky rider.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Shows were ok- seen worse seen better. Marriage show was more inappropriate than normal. Comedy shows were ehhh.

Children's Programs

We didn’t use.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Kevon at guest services was awesome. I’ve never seen security need to be called so many times. There seemed to be alot of controversy between guests and groups. It was a bit alarming. Staff handled it well

Ship Quality

Different than what I’m used to and liked it

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was great but the location was awful. We were below the galley/ kitchen of the restaurant… it was so loud we hardly slept all week.

Ship tip

Check location of room!

We did a river tubing excursion. My children got swept away ahead of the group and the guides. I could not see them for nearly an hour and I was not comfortable or ok with it.

George Town, Grand Cayman

Sting rays and star fish excursion was great.

Cozumel, Mexico
