Review summary

This was a fun cruise. The CD, Savannah, was fun, energetic, & enjoyable. The crew was helpful. Overall, a great time.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
VeriFly is being tested in Galveston, but the port agent we dealt with for document review was poorly trained. We were required to provide paper copies of all our documents, while other port agents were allowing people to show VeriFly & go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our servers were excellent! Food was very good, as usual.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool, hot tub, Playlist production show, trivia, bingo.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were great, but some of the female performers needed additional undergarments under their dresses. In a family show, it is unacceptable for female performers to be wearing thong underwear under a dress, then spinning/twirling etc so that their butt cheeks are clearly visible. Performance wise, they were very skilled, & enjoyable to watch. Comedians were a mixed bag. A couple of them were good, a couple need to find new professions.

Children's Programs

No kids with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Enjoyed Honduras. Did the sloths, monkeys, macaws, & iguanas excursion. LOVED it. Woild do that again!

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
The port itself is just ok, but the excursion we did was awesome. We did the zipline into the tiger cave, with cave tubing. Very well organized, felt very safe, & lots of fun. Would do again.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Didn't do an excursion. Only walked around the port a couple of hours, as we have been here several times.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Debarkation was a mess, but that was due to a mechanical failure with the gangway.
