Review summary

Embarked and sat around until the rooms were ready. Once we left the port, it was slightly rough seas, but it was not too extravagant. Once I discovered Guy's burgers, I was hooked and didn't eat many other places. In Cozumel I went to Mr. Sanchos, will I've already booked to go again. Progresso is a small town with not much to do but shop. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the family time. Our son absolutely loved Camp Ocean, and he is ready to go back.

Guy's Burger was my go too establishment. The main dining hall was decent, as well as the buffet.

Camp Ocean is possibly the greatest thing on the ship if you're cruising with kids.

Cabin / Stateroom

Decent cabin, always clean and tidy. I fully believe the steward hides under the bed. Every time we left our room, it would be cleaned before we got back.

Ship tip

If going to Guy's Burgers. Get in line a few minutes before they open as the line will grow extremely quickly.

We had a great family vacation! The seas were rough the first day and night and it got cold as we were coming back to port in New Orleans, but that couldn't be helped. The ship was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was great!

Fantastic escape from the the daily grind!

Not much fun
