Review summary

Overall great experience... wish could have had more time though!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Was good, but my husband left his passport in his checked luggage, so we had to get his birth certificate emailed for him to get on the boat but everyone was very helpful and tried to find our luggage in the time we were waiting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food and Dining was great, waiters were not as fast and friendly as we have on past cruises but they did ok

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We played bingo and went to casino and watched the shows all were good, pools and hot tubs were too crowded with kids

Entertainment

4 out of 5
All performers did a great job

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
As I said earlier waiters were not as friendly or attentive as we have had in the past, the gentleman that cleaned our room was also not as friendly as we have had in the past, he also did not clean our room as much as in the past on previous cruises every time we left the room they were making the bed and giving us new towels, several times our bed was not made and we had no new towels

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship design was interesting and unique loved the Christmas decorations but would have liked more

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was a normal cruise room, we always have stayed in balcony rooms only wish they had more than one plug in the room

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Nice little port, went on a jeep adventure excursion through carnival - highly recommend it was fun and we got to spend some time at a nice private beach

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
Only draw back is the "tender" but it wasn't bad, we did a snorkeling excursion and enjoyed it although it was a little crowded

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Cozumel is always our favorite - wish we could have spent more time here- we did "Atlantis Submarine Tour" which I highly recommend once in a lifetime experience

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Need to come up with a faster more organized way

They always go by too fast that’s why we keep going on more 😎🛳

When your on a cruise, a mere 24 hours in a day is not enough.
