Review summary

For the price, you can't beat it! The food and entertainment is always a treat!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
A little confusing on where to check our larger bag.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
There was a nice variety. At times the food was not hot at the buffet.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The activities looked like fun, but we didn't take part because of our age.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The seven young entertainers are very talented. We especially liked "The Piano Man" Rolando! He really included the piano bar's guests.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward (Ritzki) and helpers were efficient and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
We didn't like having to zigzag through different areas to get back and forth from the dining room and theatre. We found the ship to be clean and well-maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room could have had a few more drawers for storage. It was your typical interior room.

Ship tip

Bottles of alcohol are cheaper onboard than the islands or the U.S. The drink package is WAY overpriced!

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

3 out of 5
The direction signs are horrible, with a lot of city construction. It was difficult to find the parking lot.

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
The shops open at 9:00, so don't get off the ship early... the ship's time is off by an hour. Also, there is a lot of walking between shops. We did not do an excursion.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
The shops are more conveniently located. I didn't like the venders trying to pull you into their huts on the main street. The little plaza at the far end is wonderful to relax and have a beer.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were able to carry our luggage off early, and not have to hunt for it later.
