Review summary

Great cruise for first timers, or people just trying to have a nice get-away without spending a truck-load of money. It's not so cheap OR expensive that you regret coming.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Good pacing, friendly and efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was overall plentiful and good. It was very much like what you would expect on a large ship, but wasn't disappointing. We didn't go hungry by a long shot. Very adequate.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Plenty to do, and plenty opportunities to just hang out and chill as well.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Wasn't Broadway, but wasn't your school play either. Pretty good, and entertaining.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Outstanding service from the extremely friendly waiters, room stewards and staff. Can't speak highly enough about them.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
She's easy to get around, and the ship was very clean! There were a few areas that showed a little rust in the pools and saunas, but that's nitpicky....it really wasn't that bad. She's an older ship, but is well-maintained.

Went to Nachi Cocom....excellent beach day trip. All inclusive with good food and drinks (alcohol included). The beach is soft and pristine, the chairs are under palapas so there's plenty of shade. Really enjoyed the hammocks as well! There's also a pool and hot tub that you can use to swim up to the bartender. SCORE.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

4 out of 5
A lot of folk say to skip this port, but I say get off to experience the massages! You can get an hour long massage from one of the many massage artists along the beach for a pittance. My spouse and I spend $30 on an hour long massage for the both of us! Was every bit as good as the ones in the spa on the ship!!! Great deal.
