Review summary

We had a good time, but the ship was tacky looking and the entertainment was lame. It was fine for a short cruise. If I was on a longer cruise I would have been bored. Roatan was beautiful but there wasn't enough time there. Cozumel not so great. The staff on the ship were very nice and attentive and the food was actually good for a cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good. A lot of variety but a lot of times the food wasn't hot enough.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not a lot to do. Only one pool.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Performers were not really that talented. It was kind of lame. The only performers that I thought were really good was the Latin Soul band.

Ship Quality

The pool deck was kind of dirty and the design of the ship was very tacky.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I was very happy with the cabin because it was one of the cheaper ones and I was pleasantly surprised. The bed and linens were very nice and comfortable and there was a lot of storage for a small room.

Ship tip

If you want a quiet spot go to the Serenity section

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5

I did an excursion to Island Beach club. I didn't like the beach. It was rocky and the water was rough. I've been all over Mexico and cozumel was the worst part of mexico I've ever been to. The town was ugly and so touristy and overpriced.
