Review summary

Cozumel was very pretty. The ship was clean and the service was good overall. Wave runner/snorkel excursion was great! Don't expect gourmet food. The entertainment was mostly good, I really enjoyed the trivia games on board!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Some foods were better than others, but overall could use improvement. The Guy's Burgers were the nest thing on the ship! The buffet was OK at best and the evening meal was decent at times to just OK and poor a couple of times. Service during evening meal was fine. The burger and burrito place did not stay open late at night, which left pizza as the only choice.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Good variety!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Cowboy Bill Martin was great, but the other guy (Jason Andors) wasn't really very funny. His kind of comedy was overboard and too crude for our taste. We left about 20 minutes into his show to go do something (anything) else!!!

Children's Programs

I took no children on this cruise

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cruise director was very good! Frankie did a great job making us laugh!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was mostly fine, refrigerator really didn't work. I did not like the way the two beds came together - not comfortable!

Ship tip

Take advantage of the many shows and activities. The casino is also nice.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

Overall good, but parking there is $$$.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Take a cruise approved tour and you won't have to worry about getting back on to the ship on time.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
Stay on the ship, don't bother getting off!
