Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food in the main dining room was very good, but the wait staff made you feel bad for ordering more than one thing. I was a bit surprised at the lack of kindness and engagement from the wait staff we had.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Spa/fitness center was awesome. Pools and hot tubs were good and volleyball was fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
DJ Milk D was awesome and the performers were really good. Was cool that they were approachable and interactive on the ship.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room stewards were AMAZING!! Special shout out to Jazim and Naylin - they were great, greeted us by our names, and always had a positive attitude. Jazim even gave our family an impromptu towel animal lesson - it was very cool

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Foe the most part seemed cleaned and maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Beds were a bit small, but comfortable. Room was fine and served its purpose

Ship tip

Bring your own pop and water bottle to refill at water stations

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

4 out of 5
Was interesting to see the city and we did a swamp tour, which was excellent - nit a ton of activities for kids and most likely won't be visiting New Orleans with family

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did a day pass to Allegro Resort and it was AMAZING!! Beach, pool, and drinks were awesome!! My guy Marillio hooked us up!

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
We just rode into the city and public beach - seemed a bit sketchy tooling around the town

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Coming off the boat was smooth and we had all of our bags waiting for us
