Everyone was super helpful, remembering everyone’s names by the end of day one.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Always spotless

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was a little smaller than I’d expected, and though it says sleeps 4, it does so tightly, especially when it comes to storing your luggage.

Ship tip

Don’t be overly concerned about being too formal for the Captain’s dinner.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Best town in the states, love the history and environment. Being there over New Years was an added plus

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Amazing destination. Loved the culture, seeing the jungle side of the island. Snorkeling, shopping, and just overall experiencing Cozumel. Did a Jeep tour, but through a private company.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Seemed rushed, they called one deck after another so quickly it caused a bit of a traffic jam with the elevators. Could have allowed more time between decks.
