Review summary

Old but nice ship, no promenade. Dated but the staff keep it sparkling clean. The ports were a huge hit, but beware of Cozumel - you'll get scammed and ripped off.

Always amazing.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Very clean but the ship needs a refurb; it's old and dated, only one outlet. Fridge was under the desk instead of in the fridge slot so we had an extension cord stretching across our rooms. Reading lights are at head level when in bed so it's easy to hit your head. The rest of the ship is spotless

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin size standard; room a little worn. Cabinet creaked at night if there were waves moving the boat around. VERY clean and our steward was amazing. Needs a night light in the bathroom and more outlets

Ship tip

There is no promenade but the ship feels roomy. The shops are easy to miss and the Centrum is quite noisy but you won't find nicer staff anywhere

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Belize is wonderful but the tender ride is long and noisy

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
EVERYBODY in this country tries to scam Americans. Book an excursion through the ship and skip the nonsense in this port. The police will pull over Americans for minor reasons, then demand a bribe before letting you go. If you rent a car or scooters, beware the gas station attendants rig the pump and overcharge.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and early. The staff at the port are a little aggressive and you have to walk across the street with all your luggage if you're getting picked up
