Review summary

Very relaxing, We had a lot of fun, and got to see so many things that you wouldn't normally see and experience in Southwest Louisiana. It was booked for us as a wedding gift and I'm really thankful we were able to go. Definitely would do again!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was quite nice. It was our first ever cruise, so we didn't really know what to expect. The whole process went really smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All fantastic! Didn't have any problems with any of them.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We walked around the ship mostly, played mini golf and I laid out in the sun near the pool for a little while. It was nice, super relaxing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The only show thing that we went to was the Classic rock showcase the last night of the cruise, but it was phenomenal!

Children's Programs

Do not have any children at the moment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was super nice! had a smile on their face, asked how we were doing, and had small conversations with a few of them. Two people that really stood out to us during the trip were Milicia Sucurovic, who was one of the ladies in the Lincoln Dining room and Gabriel George Grus at the Alchemy Bar. They were super nice, held wonderful conversations, and both showed genuine interests in the guests. Milicia spoke with us on multiple occasions around the ship, and was such a sweet person to talk with.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was nice. The elevators took a while, but we attend Anime conventions so we're used to busy elevators.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was cozy. The bed had a separation in the middle making it a little uncomfortable trying to sleep with two people in the bed, but other than that, a wonderful room.

Ship tip

Definitely try to make it to the Alchemy bar! We had such a great experience there, we didn't realize we spent almost four hours there. Also, definitely try to make some of the shows they have on board. We didn't get a chance to and I kind of wish we did. They all sounded so interesting!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
We go to Galveston often, so we always have fun there. We sailed out from there, so we didn't do any excursions.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Really nice! We did the Passion Island excursion, and it was so relaxing! I had never seen water so blue before, so it was beautiful.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
We didn't get a chance to go downtown for any of the shops they have because of the resort excursion we did, but the ride to and from the location of the excursion was beautiful. Fluffy was such a wonderful guide and he was very informative about the area and the culture and we learned a lot talking and listening to him.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Didn't have to wait long, everything went smoothly.
