Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very attentive and courteous. One clerk in fun shop even offered to search in back room for a T-shirt in my size after hours when they were sold out in the store. I told him that wasn’t necessary I would wait for the sale coming up. But that shows dedication.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was beautiful but I didn’t like having to go to deck 5 to access decks 3 and 4. But it was clean and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was very comfortable and we had 3 people in our cabin. The stewards kept it very clean.

Ship tip

If you’re going south to a Caribbean place that’s warm bring a little battery fan to put on your night stand because it gets a little warm in the cabin

We went to a private beach called Nachi Cocom and it was very relaxing. Very few people. Food and drinks included.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

We went to maya pan ruins and got to climb on them and then we swam in a cenote cave and saw stalagmites and pottery and ate authentic Mexican cuisine and we traveled to a hacienda on our bus.

We had a nice time on this cruise, only complaint was dining issue. We had early dining didn’t get our food sometimes til an hour later.
