Review summary

It's a big ship and there are a lot of people, but never really waited long to do anything. The comedy clubs do fill up quick.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Extremely easy, we got in line and we're eating Guys 15 minutes later.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Ate at the MDR, buffet, Guys, Shaqs Big Chicken, Street Eats, Blue Iguana, and a couple others I don't remember the name of. Never had a bad meal. MDR service took a little time, but usually in and out with an hour and a half at a 14 person table.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
A lot to do. Rollercoaster went down day one, was looking forward to that, maybe next time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Went to both PG and R comedy shows. Saw 3 different comics, all were pretty funny. Went to different shows throughout the ship, most were enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
What can you say about all of the crew? Every single one of them busted their butts all day. Never heard any complaining from the crew, most had a smile on their face. Omar our cabin steward was awesome. Wish the guest would act as well as the crew.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship is huge. Went on the original Jubilee in 94. They took some original pieces from it and placed them on the new one. Was pretty cool to see the different items throughout the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Balcony cabin on the Lido deck. Cabins are a little smaller on this ship, but wasn't a big deal. Bathrooms are also smaller, shower has a door instead of a curtain.

Ship tip

Over all a great cruise. The ship is very nice. My only complaint, which is a very minor deal, was the drink stations on the Lido deck were shut down early every night. I drink coffee at night and couldn't find any after 6pm. A few nights the drink station at the rear was open until 8pm.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
The port is very nice, but many of the shop workers were kind of jerks. Before I get told the people in Jamaica are pretty aggressive, it's exactly what it reminded me of. Usually a smile and "No thank you" is good enough in the shopping areas, not here. At least that was my experience. It's a better port than Progresso, but much more to do in Cozumel.

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
We always go a day or 2 before and hang out in Galveston.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Another really good port. A lot of things to do at and outside this place.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I really like Cozumel.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Got up, ate breakfast and walked off. Facial recognition makes disembarkation quick. Was pulling into Bucees in Texas City at 9:45am to get gas and drive home.
