Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Fantastic. All the food was perfect. Enjoyed the fresh fruit. Need more fresh veggies. It was fabulous.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the movies at night. Really enjoyed watching everyone play the games around the pool. Enjoyed the atmospheres everywhere we went.

Entertainment

We really didn’t go to any shows. We work in a tourist show town so it was not what we really wanted on our vacation.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Sirya and Tinawi I believe that’s how you spell their names were fabulous. We had the best servers. I loved my restaurant experience. The staff on board was excellent. Everyone was always friendly. Absolutely the best group of staff I have ever been around.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was gorgeous. I didn’t ever see any messes and anything out of place. Very nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was fabulous. We had one small issue with the shower but it was fixed. I really loved the room. It was very cozy. I would recommend I heavier blanket to be available in the cabin. I love the cold but want a big blanket.

Ship tip

Get the drink package.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

4 out of 5
New Orleans was doing some remodeling so it was a little discombobulated. The port itself was not bad.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Fantastic. Everything was clean and very nice. Friendly people. We went to Salsa Salsa and Margaritas; best excursion ever. Nice people. Friendly. Laughed and smiled the whole time.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

2 out of 5
It needs work. I can see the potential. It’s very discombobulating to see so many military and guns walking around. It does put you at ease. My excursion was not enjoyable. I went on a cave experience with snorkeling. It was miss leading. None of the fish looked like they were in their natural habitat and the cave itself was dead. I felt sorry for the villagers they looked like they were starving. The bus ride was 1.5 hours there and back. It was no fun at all. The guide was giving miss information about the historical culture which was odd. I’ve had several years of historical cultural in college and it really bothered me.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I didn’t want to leave!!! It was great. Everyone was super nice. I didn’t appreciate the wheelchair people passing everyone and running over people. Especially when I saw over half those people dancing at the bar the night before. They should have to wait their turn in line just like everyone else.
