Review summary

Our favorite part of the cruise was Costa Maya. We booked this particular cruise, so we could visit our he ruins. We did the VIP excursion and it was well worth it.

 

The worst part of the cruise was the food. Out of three cruises my first two had great food, so I thought I would be telling my friends about all the different meals we had on board. That won't happen. The breakfast buffet outside on the Lido deck never opened on time, which does not matter while you are sailing, but when you are short on time because you have an excursion to be ready for. That's terrible.

 

Things seem to be very unorganized. We docked at costa maya and we were required to meet on deck 9 at one end of the ship at 7:45. Our exit door was on the 3 floor at the other end. The coordinator for the group on board could not tell us why we were still sitting there until 8:30. It was because they were having problems  docking the ship. I don't mind waiting but tell me why we are just sitting in a room when our excursion is scheduled to be starting at 8:30. We finally got off the ship by 9:00 and got to our tour guides.

Our cabin was kept clean the whole time. There was a smell of sewage quite often walking to our cabin. Which was really terrible on a full stomach.
