It was my first cruise and it was wonderful overall! Staff were very friendly and helpful. It definitely was an opportunity for them to try to make more money selling goods. Food was a 7 out of 10.

Very expedient and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
They were good. The buffets primarily had the same food daily and desserts. I give it a 7 out of 10

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The activities were so so. Fitness center was great! Pools very crowded and the casino had so much smoke from it being a place for smokers to go. Only went 2 times for about 20 minutes because of this. And people smoked on their balcony which was take care of by security thankfully but too many people for them to manage it.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Comedians were very funny and the musical was very entertaining.

Children's Programs

Didn’t have children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room attendants were very kind and helpful! Loved the towel animals left on the bed. All staff were very kind and helpful on the ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Every time I looked around the shop was being cleaned. The staff work hard keeping up on it!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the room! The location and balcony was amazing! Rocked to sleep at night, roomy and just lovely! Shower was amazingly roomy and very hot water.

Ship tip

Be aware of all the people who are sick and walking around coughing and not covering their mouths. My husband got sick with whatever was going around and isolated himself the last 3 days to our room to protect others. Wash your hands a lot and be alert.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

4 out of 5

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We loved our excursion and the visit

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Loved the Lamanai excursion and the educational tour of the ruins and of the country to get to them.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Very much feared to tourist trade. All about buying things and the employees of the stores are pushy

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
Our tour guide was an hour late and the port authority were very pushy and aggressive in the duty free shop. My husband didn’t have his ID on him, I did and he went to the door to call for me and the woman out her hands on him and pushed him back. No need for that aggression. We went back to the ship.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We had a long delay due to fog not allowing us to port and the ship did their best to make our delay comfortable. Took them awhile to make it possible for us to use the phones to call airlines to change our flight and took them a very long time to make WiFi available. Otherwise went smoothly.
