Review summary

We had a good time overall. We loved the alchemy bar and spend a lot of nights there. Loved the back pool, and lounging around. The staff was phenomenal and they made you feel cared for. The food was not as good as I remembered and we did end up getting covid after returning home. Additional ports: Isla Roatan was a lot of fun and recommend the bungalows! We stopped in Belize and did a carnival excursion to a beach. It was the WORST excursion I have ever done. My book were ruined, some things we had in a backpack were ruined and we were soaked from the water transfer. The boat crashed into the dock at the excursion and into the walkway of the boat. Would not recommend.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We ate at the steak house, which I thought was overrated. We did not enjoy the pasta place, but loved the aisan kitchen. Sushi was great too. The MDR staff was amazing but the food was not as good as I remember.

Ship tip

The boat is big, the layout is not my favorite. We prefer the smaller ships. But have fun! Everyone is on vacation! Smile!

One of my favorites! We did an excursion with jeep cruises. Our tour guide was excellent. We went all over the island, drank mojitos, tequila and saw the island. Best fajitas I have ever had!
