Review summary

All in all we loved the cruise and the crew but hated the ports..

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I have a walker so it was a long walk but the staff did ask me serveral times if I wanted a wheelchair... My bad.... But we got on the ship really fast...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate at the Lincoln lower dining room and it was wonderful.... Could not believe all of the buffets on the ship... Loved all the food..

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The pools and hot tubs were salt water, didn't expect that but all in all We loved the hot tub and the children loved the pool and the water slide....

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We did the rock and country show Whitch where wonderful. The children loved the Dr. Seuss green eggs and ham breakfast and the show.... So worth the 5 bucks per person to take the children to this...

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Ocean camp was great for my 8 year old granddaughter she loved it....

Service and Staff

Nice port... Frindly people....

Cozumel, Mexico

Do not drink strawberry margarita (virgin) my 8 year old granddaughter got a Mexican virus from that drink and now is very sick and may be put into the hospital because of the strawberries not being washed good enough.. Per her USA Doctor... But we did love the shops however we did not leave the port....

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

Small port... Long walk.... Didn't care for it much....

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We where on deck 2 so off the ship by 7:30 really fast and smooth....

It's a shame that you didn't have any plans for Cozumel is truly one of the gems of the Caribbean. I pray that your daughter recovers from her illness
