Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Washington dining room was very nice. We also enjoyed the buffets too. Plenty of different choices to choose from.

Orlando did a great job in planning different activities. We especially liked the ice carving and the dancing by the pool.

Entertainment

We also enjoyed the comedy shows and the dance club too.

Children's Programs

Didn't have small children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We sat at table 554. We had a great wait staff especially Rizky. He was always happy and smiling and took special time to get to know us and our like and dislikes. His head waiter Ricarte and the other waiter, Tolentino we extremely attentive and they all called us by name. By the time we left we felt like we had known them for a long time. Orlando was very nice also and tried to include everybody in the activities.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Once you got used to it, it made sense. Everything was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very pleased and surprised with the size and comfort of our room.

Ship tip

Be prepared drink package does not start until the next day. I think it should start the first day to get your money's worth especially if you do an excursion both days and you don't really use your package. Other than that no other tips worth noting..

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas Did not visit port

Been there before several times.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
This was a very pretty area and loved our excursion. We did dune buggys and snorkeling. Our guide was great.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
Very dirty. Did an excursion and the people and guides were great. The hotel for the beach we went to was very nice, food good and lots of drinks. Water not as pretty as Cozumel. Probably won't do a Progreso excursion again.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Seemed like such a long process. Mainly because you have to get out of your room and then wait.... But it went smoothly once we did disembark.
