Review summary

We had a great time.  We have been to Progresso and Cozumel before so we just stayed on the ship, laid out by the pool, watched and listened to great concerts on the big screen and had great bar service as they always knew when to come by.

 

Casino was nice too.  They have an electronic black jack table with lower minimums then the dealer tables and they were just as fun.  My mom won second place in the slots tournament.  

 

Guy's burger stand was awesome!  Had burgers 3 times!  This is a great smaller ship with plenty to do.  Highly recommend for someone looking for their first cruise experience.  Or for experienced cruisers just looking for a inexpensive get-a-way.  Best value for the best price in my opinion.

Ship Quality

I liked all the upgrades, especially by the main pool.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Everything was great except the theatre was right above our room. So if you try and go to bed before 10pm, it was a little loud.

Ship tip

Every day I would go to the sandwich bar and get smoked salmon without the bagel. I love smoked salmon.
