Older ship, could use update.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
They have 2 bunks sticking out from the wall on both sides of bed. You hit your head when getting in and out of bed. Showers the smallest at sea and we are Diamond. NO refridgerators!!!

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Was too rough to go snorkeling. Don't forget to get key lime pie covered in chocolate on a stick.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Nothing in town, just port shopping by the ship. Do an excursion. We went to the Tipsy Turtle on Barefoot Beach. Included a fine massage.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We went to El Cozumeleno resort for a beach day. Great food, service and drinks. All you want. Free snorkeling, kayaking, put-put and other fun activities. Will go back. Had a blast!!

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Very slow and disorganized.
