Several Areas of the cruise missed the mark. The guest service staff and most staff were very helpful and friendly.

Review summary

This was a pleasurable cruise. My teenagers had a blast! The outdoor pool area was fun and sunny. Wear your shoes on the pool deck - it is HOT! The indoor pool area as lovely. Quiet and restful. The house band and DJ's were wonderful! The casino slots were paying and the table games were as well. The casino is a nice size and the dealers were excellent! The food across the board was delicious! The coffee shop had the best cappuccinos and crescents.

Poor bar service at most bars. Room service for breakfast was great. Coffee shop on board was delicious! Night time dining in main dining room had excellent service and food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The daily activities were lacking. Not a whole lot to do. Missed having a "sail away" party at each port. Casino was great! Dealers were professional, efficient, and nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward was excellent. Evening dining room servers were on point. Bar service was mediocre...a few bars had great service. Several bars has slow service and lack of knowledge of bar tending 101.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the ship very much. Extremely clean. The green lawn area on the top deck in the back of the ship seemed like a waste of space.

Cabin / Stateroom

Newly refurbished. Very quiet and comfortable. Our room steward was wonderful!

Trolley tour and butterfly garden were great. Shopping and on shore bars were fun!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Jeep tour was fun. Listed price for tour was $109.00, but was charged $134.00 per person. Not much to this town/port.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
This middle port/docking had a public swim area at the port itself. Good snorkeling. Great shopping and street entertainment.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We visited with friends who were on vacation in Grand Cayman. Almost missed the last tender back to the ship, but we made it with 8 minutes to spare. Oops!
