Very easy to get on ship. Great job on lunch by staff to keep lines moving.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We choose your time dining with a party of 12. I was so afraid of having to wait for a table. We never had a wait. Sometimes the staff was stretched very thin and it was 30 minutes before you even received your app and so dinner took a few hours. Wouldn’t have minded if not for kids. Steakhouse was amazing!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Loved the deck 5 hot tubs. Like hidden gems.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Good. The string quartet playing in lobby was the best quality I have heard in a long time. It was a beautiful to listen on way to dinner.

Children's Programs

Very good. Wish they had less structure for 10 year olds and more free play. Roo

Cabin / Stateroom

Suite is smaller than on ecstasy. But since magic has so much more to do I spent less time in my room so it was perfect.

Ship tip

I really enjoyed the Italian restaurant for lunch. It’s free. And the offered a pasta bar. The choices were good and it was all delicious. They offered a lasagna for special that was unlike the lasagna offered in dining room. It was so yummy.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

Embarkation easy

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Playa Mia was so fun. Taxi line was long at Port. But with six ships in it moved quickly.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Tender was long but gorgeous. Went cave tubing. Such a fun experience

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Most beautiful snorkeling ever. Poor country. That’s why I book local excursions. Not carnivals.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Confusing to get out of port area. Overpriced. Beaches were rocky and bothered all the time by vendors.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Walked out of my room off the boat. Best disembarkation ever.

I'm going on this same cruise in 2019. Did you do any excursions? Did you feel unsafe at any of these ports?
