Review summary

We lost electrical power for a few hours so anyone with a disability that prevented them from using several flights of stairs were stuck. No accommodations were made to ensure those people had food or bathroom access. I was disappointed in this.

All of this was fantastic.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We played the trivia and Hasbro games. We enjoyed the hot tub but the water was too crazy to enjoy the pool.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved the shows but I do wish there was more story line

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the staff members that I experienced were fantastic.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
As a non-smoker, having to walk through the smoky casino to take pictures did not impress me.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was consistently cleaned and fabulous. Roomy enough for 4 to stay comfortably but was much better with just the two of us.

Ship tip

Try something new

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

No excursion but a wonderful place to visit

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the Awesome snorkeling and beach excursion and it was fantastic. We will do it again. Lots of shopping options.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

4 out of 5
A very long walk off the pier but there are several shopping places once you get there. We went to the Corona Beach excursion and that was a lot of fun but I would not recommend this with children.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
More than half the elevators were off, no handicap only elevator so many people that were disabled were stuck where they were because people where craming in trying to get down. Had to be out of the rooms by 8:30 and there wasn't enough room for everyone to be out. People were crowding the stairs even if it wasn't close to their turn to leave. There needs to be a better system.
