Review summary

The Cruise was a wonderful way for my wife and I to spend our Honeymoon. We do recommended purchasing the Drink Package ahead of time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Wonderful

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Dinning on the ship was wonderful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed most all the bars. We did partake in the waterside which was cool and each day we went up to enjoy the pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Grease Show was great. it was neat seeing the show and comparing it to the movie.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was wonderful. 1 hiccup with my luggage due to us not knowing you couldn't bring a Power Strip onto the ship. But we didn't know that at the time.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very clean. Just wish there was no smoking in the casino. We didn't stay in there too long because of the smoking.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The Cabin was a great size and very comfortable to us. the bathroom was larger than expected.

Ship tip

It is a great ship. Just when going to the pool be mindful of the chairs due to they are very close together. Aim to get ones on the end of a row so you can slide them out a tad.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Ft Lauderdale was ok. since it was just where we were getting on and off the ship there wasnt much to it. It is nice how close the airport is to the Port.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
This was a great port. We stayed just in the Port area since we did not have an excursion booked here so we didn't want to venture to far out.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We purchased a all inclusive day at Mr. Sanchos Beach Club. We heard about this place from friends and it was a great place and time. The staff was awesome.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
The Disembark was ok. We were not in a rush since we had a later flight home but we did notice it took longer to get off since the staff in the port were running slower. If we had a sooner flight and having a later Debark # this would have been an issue.
