Review summary
This was our first time cruising and were not real sure if we would enjoy the trip. Boy were we wrong. We loved every minute of it. The staff was extremmaly helpful and friendly throughout the entire cruise. The cabin was fantastic and much quieter than our hotel room in New Orleans! The buffet food on the ship was better than most and the dinner room meals were fantastic. We took two differant excursions, one in Progresso Mexico and one in Cozumel and both guides were great and spoke excellant english and were very well versed on their Mexican heritage and history. Only downside on the cruise was the amount of cigarette smokers. The signs in the casino state you must be at certain machines to smoke, but their were smokers all over the casino in groups in hallways and next to the bar . The staff did not seem to mind, so maybe this was normal?Ship experiences
