Review summary

I really had a great time!! It was our first cruise but definitely not our last!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was pretty good. Guys burgers were fantastic. It would have been nice if we had a list of the restaurants, the times they were open and a menu.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was always something to do. We saw a couple of shows, had a great time watching the dance parties on the lido deck, spent time in the spa, enjoyed the casino and so much more!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment was great! We laughed until we cried watching the Newlywed game. MarQ and the fun squad were a riot throughout the cruise. The balloon drop was fun. The DJ was fantastic!!

Children's Programs

Our "child" was 18 years old.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, Alit, was amazing!! From the first time he introduced himself he never forgot our names. He was so patient about coming back to clean later after our son got up. The towel animals were great. All onboard Staff were incredibly cordial and helpful

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was so clean, I was amazed that they could keep up with all those people. The one suggestion I would have is putting a bar on the smoking level. A lot of times when people drink they want to smoke.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Having 3 people I wasnt sure how crowded it would be but I was grateful that we weren't in each others way.

Ship tip

If you go to Belize book a shore excursion because otherwise there is not a lot to do there.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
That is where we boarded and disembarked. Everything seemed well organized .

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Loved this port. I only wish we had a little more time there. We did an excursion which was tons of fun but then had no time left to look around and shop.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion but had a great time because they had a beach. We swam and found shells and coral. It was a wonderful, relaxing day without spending a lot of money.

Belize City, Belize

2 out of 5
We did not book an excursion but wish we had. There was nothing to do if you didn't have an excursion. You really could not leave the shops that were right off the ship because of the safety issues.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did an excursion in Cozemel- swam with the dolphins- which was a lot fun. We got to interact with them but not actually swim with them but that was the only downfall. Then we had plenty of time to shop. We actually could go outside the ships shopping area and got to haggle prices at local shops. It was a lot of fun and we felt safe there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We got off really quickly. We took our luggage off ourselves so we didn't have to wait. They said our floor would disembarked between 810 and 830 and they called us at 740 so we felt rushed. Luckily we packed almost everything the night before.
