First cruise for my 60th birthday! Had a very good time. As a first timer it was a bit overwhelming at times especially with my first experience of being seasick. However I was totally prepared, slapped on a patch and pressed on.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I cannot fault the service provided by the staff. There were a few areas which need tweaking but overall great customer service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Old ship but good condition.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was clean and well maintained by our Steward Arjun. He is the best. Small but a good amount of storage space. We unpacked everything and put our suitcases at the bottom of the closet. Also bought an over the door storage organizer for shoes and miscellaneous items.

Ship tip

Figure out what you like to do and go to the app choose your activities on day one and organize yourself.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Watch out for those prices. Paid $20 for an item in Cozumel and found the same thing for $5 bucks in Costa Maya. Avoid using your credit cards

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Beautiful Port. Spent my birthday here, was a lovely day.

Miami, Florida
