Review summary

Our first cruise was on Pride and we loved it but this cruise on Pride was a let down. Skip, the cruise director on our first time was fantastic and actually mingled with the passengers and made things fun. Christian was okay but not very present.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was good. Carter did a great job with keeping it clean. We loved the towel animals he left each day.

Ship tip

It’s not like it was pre-Covid. Not much in entertainment and you’re more limited on drink choices (they stopped having Heineken) so don’t have high expectations.

Great place to shop and our tour of Belize in an open roof van was interesting but I wouldn’t feel safe traveling on our own.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5

This port is beautiful and the resort we went to was nice but the locals won’t leave you alone to enjoy it. They are constantly trying to sell you something.
