Review summary

Cruising is what you make of it. So if you want to complain, stay home. Nobody on vacation wants to hear you complaining.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Considering the extra Covid stuff, very smooth and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Guys burgers, Blue iguana, sushi, MDR all excellent, as usual

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Senerity deck by the pool always good. Good comedians. The rest is what you make of it.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Good comedians and Rick and Ruby the singers at the atrium bar were excellent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Friendly staff everywhere..always courteous, always. Given the amount of rude and or arrogant people they have to deal with it is somewhat amazing.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

First time on a Spirit class, loved the layout. Easy to navigate. Kind of like the smaller ships. Lots of places just to get away in this ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Typical balcony cabin.

Ship tip

Don’t expect big new ship stuff. It’s a bit of an older ship and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Did the Mayan ruins tour. Excellent and informative. Had lunch at a restaurant at the port and hung out. Next time will probably head downtown and hang out in a beach.

We did our Covid tests at home on Friday. Binax card via Telephone med. Easy.
