Review summary

We were so anxious to go on a cruise again, we selected this one because we could drive there, the price was excellent, and the ship wasn't filled more than half, so we felt really safe. It met our expectations.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

We didn't eat in the specialty restaurants because they were more than we would have paid for a similar dinner on land. The main dining room food was not spectacular but okay, except that both my husband and I both got some type of food poisoning from their food!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Given the limited number of people on board, they provided pretty good entertainment.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All the staff were very attentive and friendly. I really appreciated that they were very good at enforcing the mask policy, which made us all feel safe.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Everything was great about the cabin, given its size and all, which we knew about ahead of time. The only issue we had was getting hot water the first time we showered, but they fixed that the next day.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5

We didn't really take the cruise for the port visited, we just wanted to get on a cruise again. I'm not excited about going to Mexico, so we didn't do much off the ship.
