Review summary

I really did enjoy the cruise, but the things I mentioned above did detract from the overall satisfaction of the total experience.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
My express pass was not accepted so I had to go thru extra steps to get to the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Menus in MDR were boring and limited and quality and taste were not up to expectations. Same desserts every night with few new ones. Murano Restaurant was excellent.

Murano Restaurant

5 out of 5

Food was excellent, and presentation fun, but service was somewhat slow. Maybe it was because it was embarkation night.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Silent disco looked like fun.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Shows were not my type of music. All too loud and no variety in music genres. Liked the acrobats and silks performers.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
steward was friendly, but no extras. Even had to request ice refills with evening service. UDining room service was slow. Wine sommelier was exception. He was attentive and assisted us with choice of wines.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Missed hand held shower. Due to mobility problems I was afraid in shower. Couch was extremely hard. Missed storage areas in previous couches. Liked all the storage areas in bathroom and cabin. Bed was comfortable and lots of pillows and cushions from the couch. Would have liked a blanket available. Sink in bathroom difficult to use because of placement of spigot. Would like outlets and usb outlets at bedside to prevent need for extension cords for equipment like CPap machines.

Ship tip

Take a multi usb plug if you have cellphones, watches or tablets to be charged.

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
Trolley covered multiple tourist attractions.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Only visited the shopping area port side.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Only visited the shopping area port side.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
Visited the turtle farm and waded with stingrays. Was overpriced for the actual time we saw the exhibits.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Did valet service which made getting off the ship and through the terminal quick and easy.

The best options in Cozumel and Costa Maya are outside the port - Nice Beach Clubs, Mayan Ruins, Snorkeling, Catamaran Cruises, etc.
