Overall, we enjoyed our cruise. The ship was nice, we liked that it was not a mega ship. We had great food and service. The passengers tend to be more mature and I think better ships if you have a young family or teens that like to be active. We loved being in Aqua class and having access to the restaurant BLU. It had great service and a unique menu. It is a great cruise if you do not want to feel crowded and relax. We never had trouble getting seating in any venue.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We had breakfast and dinner in Blu. The food was very good as well as the variety. If we wanted we could have ordered from the main dining room menu as well. The service was excellent and we did not feel rushed like we have with other cruises. We were able to sit and relax after dinner. We never had to wait for a table, one was ready without any reservations. The buffet was clean with a nice variety of food.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
There was a nice variety of music in the various lounges throughout the day and evening. Fit the fitness center had state of the art equipment that was in great shape. I was disappointing. The condition of the Persian Gardens spa area was not great, it definitely needs to be updated. It felt dingy and a some the features did not work. Also some of the controls were in disrepair. The pool area was enjoyable and we did not have a problem getting chairs in the sun. Shade chairs were taken up early on sea days and many were empty but had things on them to reserve but were unattended for long periods of time.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The production shows were fantastic!! The voices were Broadway quality and very entertaining. The comics were fun both the family friendly and adult shows.The other acts kept us engaged.

Service and Staff

Overall, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The genuinely wanted to make sure we were satisfied and happy. the service in the restaurant was very attentive but we did nit feel rushed. Cabin steward did a great job and assured our special requests were met.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The ship was clean and in good shape, except for the Persian gardens (mentioned above). Our room was clean and in good working order. Being a smaller ship, it was easy to navigate and get to all areas easily. Lot's of different lounges to sit and relax. We never had an issue finding seating in any area (except pool deck on sea days).
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for 2. Bed comfortable and the upgraded shower was great! We enjoyed the over sized balcony that had a table and 2 chairs as well 2 lounge chairs. The room was quiet with little foot traffic nearby.
Nice port with lots of shopping and plenty of excursions to explore. As we have been here several times, we just walked around and did not participate in an excursion.We felt very safe walking.
This was our 1st time here. We did a jungle river cruise and Mayan ruin excursion. The cruise portion was educational as the guide gave us a great history of Belize, however it was promoted to see all kinds of wildlife close up. We did see some but all from a distance. The Ruins were interesting but would have liked to spend a little more time and felt the guide could have given more detailed history.
We did the hop on/off trolley tour. it was a great way to get an over view of the city layout and get a great history of the city. After the tour we walked around to areas we saw on the trolley. Lot's of museums but they all cost to enter.
