Review summary

Overall, everything I hoped it would be. Lots relaxation, mixed with activities when I wanted, and seeing new and interesting places. Got to meet new and fun people and have a week of endless quality food and pampering. That's all I wanted and could hope for.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Traffic in Galveston port needs improvement. Otherwise, staff friendly & helpful-embarkation itself went quickly & smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Top notch. MDR & Chops Grille could not have been better for quakity of food & service. Buffet was always a bit chaotic, but I think that's just reality for # of people. Sorrentos & Cafe Promenade were great alternatives.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Plenty to do and see. High energy crew made it each day fun. Treatment in spa and fitness center was excellent. Pools were crowded, but still fun and relaxing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Went to 3 shows + ice skating. All were extremely entertaining and well-produced. Costumes, sets, talent were all grade A.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward, Karsika, went out of his way to help w/extra birthday arrangements and kept cabin in great shape. Waiters were all on their game. Great attitudes, friendly, charming w excellent attentiveness and service.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship appeared clean and in good shape. Well-maintained, but showing a little age here and there.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
For a small inside room, it served us well. Comortable beds, plenty of storage, & lots of mirrors and lighting options.

Ship tip

Go with attitude of knowing nothing can be perfect all the time. Focus on the experience and how you are treated as a passenger. LoS is a beautiful ship with amenities for everyone. It's everything it advertises to be.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Just okay, but seemed to be authentic Mexico. Enjoyed the ruins, a brief sto at El Mirador and the chicolate factory. All great.

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
Felt rather touristy, but did not get to explore much.

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5
Beautiful, proud island. Clean, nice port area. Great people. Would love to return.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
A little slow, and horrendous traffic leaving port.
