Review summary

Overall it was okay. It would have been better if we got to stay a normal amount of time at the ports.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Overall the experience was pretty good but due to the ship having propulsion issues we were barely at any of the ports. Cozumel is normally an 8-6 port and we were there from 10:30 to 3:30. We left at 1:15 from Grand Cayman and left Jamaica at 3:30. It rained over half of the cruise which is out of their control but still made for a less than premium experience. Especially since it rained in Grand Cayman right up until we were leaving. If we had stayed a normal length of time at the port we could have had some sunshine. If I had known about the short port stays because the ship was not functioning properly we would have booked a different cruise.
