Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Bed was very comfortable. Nice size. Bigger than I expected. Had plenty of room. Saldana was our steward and she kept the room very clean and always had a towel animal done on our bed. Every morning we would see her and she would ask how everything was going.

Ship tip

Be prepared to do a LOT of walking. The first day they use the elevators to deliver the luggage to the rooms. So you have to use the stairs.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Stayed the night in La Marque Tx. Drove to Galveston to park car and then boarded ship.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Had a great time. Took a tour with Black Hat tours. Did some shopping. People were very friendly and eager to tell you about their customs.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico Did not visit port

Weather was bad so just stayed on ship and relaxed.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
A little bit of waiting, elevators slow but not as bad as I thought it would be.
