Review summary

We had a wonderful time the crew was great , they really took great care of us . We couldn’t have asked for a better first cruise! We will definitely be back maybe will try a larger ship so we can have some time without children running around

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was quick, we were on the ship with no problem

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I have a tree nut allergy and the chef Sunjoy came and took me around the ship to show where it was safe for me to eat. The dining room staff especially our waiter Imade was friendly and always made sure I was taken care of.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We didn’t participate in activities. As far as the pools and hot tubs unfortunately we only went in a few times because there were so many children in them we couldn’t enjoy them. That is the only downside to our cruise. I would really like to see an adult only section.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5

Progresso is still developing so there isn’t much to do at port, you have to travel into town. We went to the Mayan ruins and explored which was fun

Glad you enjoyed your first cruise. If you want to avoid cruising with a lot of kids, try to avoid the holidays and breaks. This is when a lot of kids are out of school.
