Review summary

It was great, food was great, entertainment was great The Whole atmosphere was great, loved tying out a different ship and the cruise director Kevin was hilarious. All the staff was friendly and helpful. One fun ship crew member Carlos was hilarious also. He did a great job hosting the trivia/games in the lobby every day. The shows were great. Danu our waiter in the main dining room was wonderful too. Our room steward Supraman was also wonderful. Weather was great too.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We went to main dining room 3 of the 5 nights and the food was delicious each time and the wait staff was even better. The lido buffets were good too. Pizza was good, ice cream was good, and sandwich/deli was very good too. We did not do any specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did trivia several times and enjoyed it very much. Also won a ship on a stick cause we won the country music trivia. We played trivia pursuit game with a group and our group won that game too. We went to karaoke couple times, and to the dance club one night when they we’re featuring 80’s music, went to comedy show one night, played bingo one night and went to the main StAge shows every night. Watched the national champs game on Monday night out on lido deck on the big screen. Done lots and lots of people watching.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage Shows were very good we enjoyed them all each night. Musicians and performers are very talented and did a good job.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our dining room waiters were excellent went over and beyond with their service. Our room steward was excellent too, always nice and polite and speaking to us when we saw him. What interaction we had with the ship personnel was positive and helpful/informative.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was in good condition and clean. The layout was a lot like the other ships we have been on.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
As usual the cabins are small but it was clean and functional for us, don’t need much when all you do is sleep and shower in there.

Ship tip

It is a big ship be parpared to do a lot of walking. Keep your fun times with you so you know what and when things are going on so you don’t miss stuff.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5

We have visited Cozumel before on different cruises. We chose not to get off the ship this time, but we do like Cozumel.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

2 out of 5
We have visited progreso before too. We Do not care for progreso, so we chose not to get off the ship this time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was the easiest and fastest disembarkation we have had and this was our 8th cruise. We were off the ship and in our car by 8:00.
