Review summary

I took this short cruise juat for some relaxing time in the pool and for the food. Not a disappointment at all.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

We had plenty of time to eat before the Muster drill. Salad bar was fresh. No issues encountered.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

On this cruise the food was very good. I was pleased with the daily variety. The Chocolate Extravaganza was superb!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Really enjoyed the challenge of playing ping- pong while the ship was listing in the waves around Cozumel!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Our room steward was great! Our dining staff had an issue with our meal upgrade. There's no separate steakhouse on this ship. So we had to order our filet upgrade at the table. Our steaks didnt arrive until long after the regular food service. And that didnt allow us to enjoy it. Still don't know why there was confusion.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The cleanliness was as expected, very good. The layout made us do more walking from the cabin to the dining but we needed the exercise.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Loved our oceanview cabin. We had a large window and got to see dolphins chasing the wake.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

Only one ship exit was utilized so it created a long line getting off the ship. That made getting through customs a longer process than it could have been.

You should always go to the top deck on the ship when going under the skyway it looks like you can reach up and touch it.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise!🛳. It is my understanding that the ship has no say about debarkation, which is always a frustrating experience. Wish we lived close enough for a quick getaway like that.😎
