Review summary

If you like quite ship or good Broadway shows, try other cruises line. Food quality and services were average.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very good, service people at Port Canaveral were very friendly, arrived after 11am, check in went quick and smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main Dining menu and food quality was much better than Lido Buffet, only one day used table cloth during diner time. Not enough choices at Lido Marketplace Buffet area, dining area was not big enough to accommodate large crowd. First few days always long line at each section, some took more than 30 minutes.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Most of the activities were design for younger children and teenager.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Not enough boardway show, only three nights out of seven were good, rest is game shows or talk show, only suitable for younger poeple.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room stewards were friendly, but cleanness was average, cutting a lot of corner. We were assigned at late dining, later changed to early dining, since we were not original assigned to the table, so we did not receive as nice services as other guests at the table.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
During the sea day, many trashes flying on the deck, not enough workers to pickup trashes. Some of the trashes probably flew into the ocean. There was a cocktail umbrella flew under my feet, good thing I did not step on the sharp point.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
I wiped all the draws and shelves when we moved in the room, some draws not as clean as it should be. Bathroom top glass shelf looks like haven't been clean for a long time. Too many towels in the bathroom for two person, it is not good for the environment when provided too many unnecessary towels.

Ship tip

If you like quite ship or good Broadway shows, try other cruises line.

Nice port, a lot of gift shops, outside the port was ok to walk around, more shops along the street.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Arrived at Belize, rode small boat to the shore, free WiFi provided by tourism, we just walked around the Bay Area, nothing else to see outside the gate, doesn’t seem safe.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Arrived at Mahogany Bay Roatan, Honduras. Walked around beach area and shopping area at port. Very nice, beautiful and clean beach with bars, restaurants, sports rental (expensive).

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Very nice and clean bars, restaurants, shops and restrooms. Watched swim with dolphins, free WiFi near pool area, gift items price are higher than Cozumel.
