Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining room was nice but portions super small. Lido buffet was ok. They had lamb and veal one evening and no chicken. I don’t eat lamb or veal and the chicken was so dry. Ended up having the bland pizza

Onboard Activities

Theatre was ok. First show terrible. Felt like high school. Second show was pretty decent. Singers were super good thou. The DJ was excellent and fun. Kept the party going.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Quite old and needs updating. Was always clean. Needs more room in the lido buffet. Wish it had the other section like the liberty had and it is the same size ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

Size was good. Fridge was not that cold for water. Beds comfortable. Balcony awesome!

Key West, Florida

Just spent the morning walking around visiting shops. We did go to the Hemingway house. It was $14 to enter. The cats were wonderful and the grounds beautiful. Highly recommend. Also try the key lime pie near the pier. Wow so good.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Went to Skyreef to snorkel. Booked a ticket thru trip advisor. Did not do all inclusive as I knew I would only have one drink and bottle water with it being so hot. The fishes in the water were so pretty and lots of them. Highly recommend the massage as well there. $50 for 30 min for a Swedish massage. Felt great.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very organized and fast.
