Review summary

Wonderful! Loved everything about this ship. There is a lot of sitting and waiting with excursions, wish this was better. Overall, we will be doing this again!

Embarkation

Standing in line for 2 hours was not ideal.

Delicious food, great variety. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Best buffet I have ever seen, staff dancing and singing as you entered. Loved the atmosphere!

Did not like how much vibration and moving there was. The view was great!

Windjammer Marketplace

Awesome food! Never the same thing, loved theme nights. The wait staff did a dance at the beginning of each meal, I found to be fun and entertaining! Not easy to find seating though.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

There were very long lines for the water activities so it took about 30 minutes waiting for 2 minutes of fun. Plenty of pools to relax in, loved the adult only side. Had fun watching the competitions on the court! Rock-climbing wall was a blast, a lot bigger than I thought it would be.

Swimming Pools

5 out of 5

A lot of them and always room. The water was always cool and refreshing. The life guards were on top of everything, good job!

Photo Gallery and Shop

Loved you could check out the photos as you went. A bit pricey for just a flash drive.

Dunes Mini Golf

Fun to play! Needed more light for night play.

Casino Royale

5 out of 5

Dealers were great! Never played three card poker before, the dealer was kind enough to teach me and walk me through. I swear the drinks are stronger there also!

Boutiques

5 out of 5

Good prices, nice products.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows were great. Comedian shows had me laughing until I cried! Great time in the Promenade when DJs played and characters came out for meet and greet!

Well displayed.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everytime I turned around there was someone there asking if I needed anything. They were very helpful and personal. How they remember your name after one day is crazy! I learned a lot about different countries and cultures since there was a diverse group of staff.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Everything stayed remarkably clean! I had a hard time finding things only because I would get turned around but the interactive kiosks are everywhere, which was very helpful!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Very small. The bunk bed is above the main bed (comes out of the ceiling) so you get about 4 foot clearance. Watch out getting up in the middle of the night! LOL The bed was very comfortable, got good sleep. I was upset that we didn't get any towel animals :( (its the little things that make me happy)

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Do not leave the port unless you are taken to a private beach for the day! It's a very sad place. I know it is a third world country but as an avid animal lover my heart was broken. And the roads are very small with no speed limits, very chaotic! The port is beautiful and the people are very friendly. The beaches are picture perfect! They gave us a great show as we departed!

Belize City, Belize

What a wonderful place! Our tour guide was informative and great personality! We were delayed getting off the ship because the tenders could not get to us d/t weather. So I felt it rushed the excursion. But the people here are wonderful and the country is beautiful. We will definitely be coming back here!

Awesome! The ride to the island was like a roller coaster! We enjoyed it where many others did not. The tour guide was amazing. Very beautiful. Must see the Cenotes! Snorkeling was relaxing, had a Sea Turtle right in my face! Shopping is great.
