Review summary

Overall I had a wonderful time on my first ever cruise. I think 5 days was perfect and Mexico was beautiful.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Finding parking was a pain but the terminal was super efficient and easy to get through.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good at both the buffet and main dinning room. I do wish they had something open 24/7.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Fitness center was decent. I would have liked to know if the pools were salt water or chlorine. Some people are allergic to chlorine so it would have been nice to have a sign posted.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedy show was funny and enjoyable.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Everyone was so nice and full of energy. Staff was able to answer questions and assist with problems.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship was clean but is in need of some upgrades. Both pools had paint pealing off and noticeable rust spots.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
A little cramped but overall a good cabin. Being able to see the water was very nice. I think the bunk bed needs a better mattress as it was very hard.

Ship tip

Great beginner ship. Not much to do so bring a book or something to do for at sea days.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

Very beautiful water. The area immediately outside of the shops not so great though. Loved our excursion and would recommend to others visiting.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Shore excursion was okay. Would have liked to hear more about the history of the town. Beach visit was nice and I liked that they gave us two free drinks and some chips and salsa. Again very beautiful water. Shops here were way too expensive.
