Review summary

Enjoyed activities as a family and also had time for myself as well. Thats what we love about cruises. So many options for all of us. We can be active or rest. Take time alone or together.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Enjoyed the food and variety of restaurants.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the waterslides and outdoor sports complex. Love the range of activities. We enjoy trivia, karaoke, movies, outdoor activities. Even got to watch our team play in the college playoffs on the big outdoor screen. Only slight problem I had was with the ship chat system. Had to keep logging in, it would quit unexpectantly.

Entertainment

Didn't really avail myself of what was offered, but my kids loved the IMAX

Children's Programs

no children of that age

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My steward Richard, always pleasant and very helpful. Our dining room staff was great - Hari, Wiri and Adi always fun and happy to help with what we wanted.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was clean, and well maintained, the design was a little choppy - made it a bit hard to get around, it took awhile to figure it out.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great. Two bathrooms (only one with a toilet), wonderful! Extra closet, couch, set up really well for what we needed. The bathtub would be great for kids. Having a window was wonderful, we have always opted for inside rooms before.

Ship tip

Great ship! We enjoyed it so much. Be adventurous, no matter what age you are, go down the water slides.

No excursion, really just went and got on the ship

5 out of 5
Love Roatan, went to Daniel Johnson's sloth and monkey hangout and took a tour of the island. Our driver, Eunice was very knowledgeable and a great driver. Loved the sloths, monkeys and birds.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Went to the ruins at Lamanai. Loved the excursion and our guides - Nuri, Tina and Luis. They were a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. Had a lot of information about the country, the people, animals, plants and of course the Mayan ruins. The food was good too!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did not go on an excursion, but went shopping. It was fun.
