Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was very good! You could eat a variety of things at just about anytime. The buffet could have had a more comfort food side instead of 3 of the same lines.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We stayed busy. The app on our phone was very helpful. The comedians and shows at night were great. We played bingo, spent time at casino and kids game room. We played putt putt but the water was a little to choppy to be very successful. The entertainment/musicians throughout the were great.

Service and Staff

Very helpful and polite. Our room steward (Fransicso) was AMAZING! He called us by name on site.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Impressed with cleanliness, we always saw someone cleaning rails, glass, floors, tables.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The size was small for a family of 5. The toilet was EXTREMELY loud. There was a terrible smell in the room the last night. Overall it was good, we were not there much except to sleep. Next cruise we would definitely get a larger room. It was clean and well kept.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We loved our excursion and did a little souvenir shopping near the port. Felt very clean and safe while there.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
Port was not as clean and inviting as Cozumel. The excursion was amazing but we had to travel 2 hours to get there, which left short amount of time to actual activities at the excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super simple and fast. We expected much more of a hassle with customs etc.
