Review summary

We had a great time and would do it again! Balcony is the way to go !! We did the beverage package and we had champagne sent to the room for a birthday - it was great and the staff was very helpful. We loved the towel animals the most !

Embarkation

5 out of 5

moved very fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

the buffet food seemed cold all the time - nothing stayed warm - there weren't real clear indications what was open when and for how long. We purchased the alcohol package - however it should all be included in the entire package, or you should be able to get the bucket of beer - very discouraging

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

plenty of things for everyone to do

Entertainment

5 out of 5

the cruise director Flipe was hysterical !! He should do stand up comic

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

everyone seem very friendly and very attentive and responded to our needs

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

there could be a little more clear on how to disembark for excursions when at your next port. The ship seemed very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

we had the best room and balcony!

Ship tip

figure out what time the buffet starts and get there before everyone else. try to do as many activities on board as possible - if one of your dis-embarkment stops has a time difference - always make sure you are on the ship time so you don't miss any activities. get the drink package!

Thumbs Up 3

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

we didn't do any excursions - however we spent a lot of money in the shops! Did you know those shops are all owned by the cruise companies? Well, they are - remember that when you are dealing with the salespeople trying to cut a deal !!
