Nice ship, good itinerary, but 6 days is just too short.

Review summary

Really nice, relaxing experience. The only real problem was that it was only 6 days. We wished it was 12 days!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth and fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Exceptional food and drinks.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Didn't do most activities. Pool decks were hard to find a chair unless you went out early. Mini-golf is always fun on a moving ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Ice show was really good. Magician was incredible. Final night variety show was enjoyable; especially, the dance number by the Toni (Entertainment director).

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

For the most part, excellent service. Room steward was nice but forgot to leave room service menus and the bar service was slow.

Ship Quality

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

Took a public bus to 7 mile beach. Very crowded. We should have looked at other options.

Thumbs Up 2

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

Shopping was good but no beach, no local flavor. Felt like a private island experience.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Rented a jeep and drove around the island stopping at several bars and sights. Just LOVE Cozumel!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We choose to Express disembarkation (took our own luggage and left before 8 AM). Smooth and effortless. Love this option.
