Review summary

Have a positive attitude and I promise you'll find little wrong with your cruise. We are go with the flow people so it takes a lot to upset us. Your on vacation relax and enjoy it!!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Over all it was good. Long lines but it seemed to moved quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We enjoyed every meal! We ate at the steakhouse 1 night and it was amazing. Every other dinner after that was in the MDR and every thing we had was wonderful. We ate at every sea day brunch and ate in the MDR for brunch when possible and again loved the food. Never had a bad meal

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We tired to do a little everything, comedy shows, dance shows 80s night, trivia ect. We did the ropes course and the sky bike and it was a blast. It felt like we didn't have enough time to do everything

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We only went to a couple comedy shows and the USA show which was great. There was 1 comedian we didn't care for but I can't remember his name. He wasn't bad he just was our least favorite

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

AMAZING STAFF. Room steward was Victor and he was great. We had anytime dinning but requested rodney every night as he was amazing! Every crew member we came in contact with was so friendly and kind. I always think staff us lovely but this time was better, I feel like after being off from covid everyone was happy to be working and guests were happy to cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I can not tell you how much I saw them clean. We played pool and litterly right when we walked away there was someone overthre cleaning the table and pool balls. It was like that around the entire ship, I work in health care and I felt so incredibly clean and safe on the cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had the havana area and it was our first time in the area. It was so beautiful and I enjoyed the private area! The bed was very hard but every else was great.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5

Thank you all for the kind words. We truly are just go with the flow people and thankful we get to vacation at all so we try not to let much bother us. After working this pandemic in healthcare trust me I was perfectly fine with anything because I wasn't working!! That said though I couldn't find much to complain about if I wanted to we didn't want for anything that whole cruise! They took care of us! Also to the member who asked about the lobster that was from the steakhouse but I enjoyed the one in the MDR on formal night better 😀

Beautiful oceanview photos. And truer words have never been spoken about what a positive attitude can do, whether on a cruise or living through a pandemic.

Glad you enjoyed it and love the attitude. I see many post negative reviews and seem to let a relatively minor issue ruin their entire trip. Those choosing to travel during a pandemic should expect last minute changes to itineraries and policies and realize things are not going to be the same as pre-Covid.

Awesome review, and I agree people need to just relax and enjoy their vacation! No need to look for things to complain about. Great pics too. Was the lobster and steak from MDR or the specialty dining?
