Review summary

A great cruise. Loved the ports for the most part. I'm sure I would of loved Belize too if it hadn't been rainy. Boat was nice.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had the 130 boarding time got in line and on the boat within an hour. Everything was a breeze. Confirmed names matched on everything and checked dates on covid test and went right thru

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I was so excited for guys pig and anchor. Loved the pulled pork and mac n cheese. Buffet lines seemed short since boat was not packed. My sister was upset as bacon was not available everyday. Pizza seems to get a bit backed up at times, doesn't help when people are ordering all kinds of special. But with a drink in hand I don't mind waiting

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Ropes course never looked busy, but we didn't do it. Played a couple games of mini golf. Basketball court was spotted empty a couple times, which was surprising compared to other cruises. Hot tubs were not evem remotely hot, which was disappointing considering there were so many and never had more than a handful of people in them

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Went to a couple trivias. Missed most of them though. Had 4 comedians on-board got to catch all of their shows except one family one. As always spot light lounge was packed with shows. They moved some of them to the showtime theater which was nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great job by all. Never ceases to amaze me how they remember so many names.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Took me a little longer to memorize the ship. Really threw us when we stumbled on the second casino. Wasn't a fan of the location of pig and anchor. But got to walk off the extra food that way!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was average. Same as all the others I've been in. Everything was as expected

Ship tip

Theres a seond casino down a level and it has a bar. Never actually went to it but everytime we went by hardly anyone there

Ports of call

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Kinda rainy. Wanted to do an excursion to some ruins but was afraid too because of the chance of rain. Walked around some shops and went back to boat.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
A beautiful and neat port. There is a pool and bars almost as soon as you get off. Also a neat little aviarius available to walk thru for $12. Got some good views while there.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the beach break and downtown excursion. Definitely worth it. The beach was ok, but you can purchase a bracelet for $39 and it's all you can eat or drink. Will definitely be going back to this beach when at this port again.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We carry off our luggage. Seemed a little smoother than others but alot less people too
