Review summary

I royally got screwed by using a debit card. Use cash or keep up with how much you spend. Overall, the cruise was great and fun. The staff was great. Entertainment kept us busy. Ports of call were fun, but hot. I would do it again!

Onboard Activities

More activities than you can do. Plenty to keep you busy. Bingo was great, a little pricey, but it was fun. But something to keep you going all the time.

Very nice but a little small. But it was nice.

Ship tip

Everything was great, but, I repeat but, DO NOT USE A DEBIT CARD. They take money out of your account as you use it to check to see if the money is there, then they put the money BACK into your account making you think you have more than you actually have. After the cruise, they will then take the whole amount. I was left way overdrawn. I absolutely hate the way they do this. Terrible. Next time, use cash and deposit a little everyday.

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

Quite a bit to see and do, just a bit trashy. But interesting.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Took tooo long. We were in the 6th floor and last to get off. FYI, bring just a little luggage and don't check your luggage on dissembarkation. Carry your own luggage off and go first.
