Review summary

We all enjoyed our cruise. Don’t forget is the beginning of more cruises to be coming soon as hopefully everything will get better soon.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Besides the ship arriving super late due to heavy fog (🤔) & getting 1 of my suitcase to the room with a broken wheel. Everything else was (a) 👍. I also pay $100 to take the Covid test at the terminal. I got my results in 8 minutes. It went very well, & highly recommend as a last result like I did.

Ship experiences

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Only singing due to short staff on dancers & entertainers.

IMAX Theater

5 out of 5

Watch the new Spider-Man movie 🎥. Very good. Now this is?? When the vista first came out I was cruising on it. The movie that was showing in the i max theater? That’s right Spider-Man ( the first one ) 😳😳

Liquid Lounge

4 out of 5

Besides what I said earlier everything was okay 👍

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was great 👍 My recommendation is tip your room steward, your server at the dining table & your favorite bartender. A few $$$ goes a long way for them. It doesn’t have to be everyday but a few days. If not tip them a lump sum on your last sea day 😎

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean, & always doing their job very well. Appreciate their job & always tell them hey you are doing a great job. I thank you for your job well done.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a inside cabin & it was good enough for us on deck 6 right in the middle. Cabin # 6367.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
First time in costa maya for me. It was ok. Just walked around the port. Is just a big circle with shops and things to see. We had chips and guacamole under the big hut restaurant next to the dolphin place. Then got me a coconut with rum as seen on picture. Then went back to the ship. It was raining and kind of cooler weather that day 😳

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No issues at all. Very smooth 😎
