Review summary

1st cuise - didnt know what to expect- we chose well with a deck - had breakfast served - no extra charge most mornings - our room attendant - beyond excellent - pleasant and helpful, which also represents most of the staff where ever we went. Only one bad bartender (beer bar) - so... you just don't go there. Martini bar bartenders should have their own show - they were amazing!! Dinner staff, speciality dining staff, people in the halls staff, coming on, going off, all were lovely people. I would suggest for entertainment areas for jazz emsemble, or disco night, or 20's night, they kinda got that, but dance area is small and not everyone can be included.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5

Went to "all inclusive" beach - rip off - 45 minute bus ride from port - on a river with fresh water- no sandy beach - lots of pebbles - they say in the jungle - man they arent kidding - only thing missing is men with machine guns to keep you safe

Thank you 24 paws. Good info, we too our 1st time cruisers. Ours is in Oct. Just curious what specialty dining were you referring to? We are trying to decide which one we’ll spend our anniversary dinner at.

Can’t go wrong with Celebrity! It’s our line of choice and yes, I agree, a little jazz would be a good thing!
