Review summary

Overall, a good cruise. There were some obnoxious people on board. I was never able to find wifi in the ports. Lots of fun activities to do, or time to relax. I'm not a night person, so I can't comment on bar scene. Overall, good enough that I'd do the same cruise again ( just not in the summer when it's so hot).

Embarkation

Face it, you feel like herded cattle. But the line moved quickly. It was noisy, and a little difficult to hear the lady at the window. No one checks to see if you are there at your scheduled time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate in the dining room every night. Wait staff are wonderful. Food is plentiful and tasty. Great variety. Blue Iguana was good. Lido buffet was so-so...the food was fine, I just don't like the cafeteria selections.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools were crowded with kids (I will avoid cruising during the summer). Didn't do any fitness or spa activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
What we saw, we enjoyed.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
They know your name (nice touch!). Always asking if there was anything you needed. Waiters were great!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Design issue - it was difficult to find the Paris dining room. Common areas were clean, with the exception of the small fore deck on 10. There was trash there when we boarded, and it was never cleaned. It seemed to take a while for the room service dishes to be picked up in the hallway.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room and storage. Bathroom was roomy.

Ship tip

Pace yourself with the meals - it's good, but if you eat everything, you'll be miserable!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Not sure if the published schedule was followed, but we were off the ship before our scheduled time.

Cozumel has great free WiFi at Coffee Cozumel downtown and decent WiFi at Fat Tuesday at the Puerta Maya port. In Progreso good free WiFi at Pancho Villa bar near the beach downtown. Just letting you know for next time you take the same cruise. 😎🛳
