Overall, the cruise was wonderful! Temperatures were a bit cooler than I anticipated, but the blankets available on the ship made it more comfortable! Loved it and we are already planning our next trip!

Pools, hot tubs, putt putt golf, basketball, ping pong, chess! A little difficult to play putt putt and ping pong with the wind, but a fun experience!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Absolutely loved the 3 violinists, and the steel drums by Jamani! We watched them multiple times!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My son only went for an hour, but not by his choice! We had so many other activities to do, he participated most of the time with us. But after begging, we signed him him for an hour before dinner and he loved it!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Almir - Lincoln DR upper - absolutely loved him! The kids loved him and never wanted to skip dinner just so they could see him! Maynor - room steward Deck 1 - quiet type, but so sweet and friendly! He saved the day when we needed something desperately!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All exceptionally clean considering the number of people on the ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
A bit too small when all 4 of us were up trying to move around. The bunk beds were a great idea, but the ladders stick out in the way. Other than that, very clean, and comfortable temperatures.

Ship tip

Very fun staff that constantly works to make your experience a great one!

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
I have never gotten on and off a ship as quick as we did on this trip! It was wonderful!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We swam with dolphins as our excursion with unlimited food and drinks. Overall a great experience and worth the money, just disappointed they wouldn’t let us take pictures.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
Chichen Itza tour with a stop at the cenote was a must see! It was incredible! Extremely great tour guide, Gabriel, made the experience one that was unforgettable!

Disembarkation

Fastest I’ve ever gotten off of a ship!

Sorry to hear it was cool. We had that problem once leaving out of California. Took like 3 days to get warm.
