Review summary

Overall if I had the chance I would take this cruise again and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We were 2 hours before our appt. but were still allowed to board when we arrived.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

There was food everywhere and it was all so good!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Lots of trivia, although most were next to the smoky casino and it was hard to breathe. We found the adult only jacuzzi's and relaxed in there with no one else around. Other pool was way too small and way too crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

the shows were ok but the DJs were great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We hardly ever saw our cabin steward so I can't comment on him, but our waiter Archie was FANTASTIC. He always remembered our names and what drinks we always got.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Layout was a little bit confusing but everything seemed clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We expected a small stateroom but had more than enough room for our stuff. Our beds were so super comfortable that we didn't want to get out of bed in the morning.

Ship tip

The cruise director Leon was hilarious and fun and made for this job!

Tampa, Florida

This port was great. Getting on and off the ship was a smooth and fast experience. We were very surprised.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Mexico was ok, but our guides Alan and Gonsalvo on our excursion (Utimate Combo: snorkeling, Mayan ruins and lunch) were extremely knowledgeable and fun!

The sign and sail cards are now are your cabin. We are looking forward to our October cruise. Third time on this ship - it is a nice one.

Were sign and sale cards issued at counter or at cabin door?
