Review summary

Overall a wonderful cruise. Not happy about the drink package offering and the ship should have offered bottled water to its cruisers. The excursions are too expensive and too cumbersome. Still, an awesome experience. Coco Cay was our favorite but we loved Mexico too. A free tour would have been nice though. Cruise ships need to improve the rooms, especially the interior staterooms, which are too small for people.

Cabin / Stateroom

Very clean. Too small. Bed was not comfortable. TV control and channels were awful. Bathroom was nice but super small even for small people.

Ship tip

Get a balcony room, not an interior cabin.
