Review summary

Great cruise overall. Layout is confusing and with it being a big ship there is a lot more walking and trying to find things. This is my second ti.e on this ship, so you would think I would be able to get around better. But I love to cruise so, I'll take just about any experience I can get at this point.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Very fast but exhausting....I'll take fast and exhausting any day

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I prefer the dining room over lido deck every time except debarktation day. It takes more time time to dine but the food is much better. Never heard of most of the main entres on lido

5 out of 5
Beautiful in the touristy area, but the island is very poor. People are friendly

Belize City, Belize

2 out of 5
Poor city with a sense of danger, although we knew we weren't in danger. Don't leave the port area if you don't have an excursion. People are very pushy due to coming out of pandemic.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
I have always loved cozumel. Be aware, the vendors are much more aggressive due to coming out of pandemic

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Disembarking itself was fine. Once down in luggage claim it was a complete sh** show and unorganized. Took an hour to get a porter, once we got him it was easy and very quick through the customs area and out to the shuttle waiting. Another hour of standing in line. The shuttle crew are new and now contracted out. They don't listen to the experienced porters on how to be more efficient
