Review summary

Great ship and RCCL staff is excellent as always. Enjoyed Liberty OTS and would go on this ship again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Had noon reservation, got to port at 11:30, got on ship at about 12:15. Not bad overall. Appreciated that they had sections for the check-in times, so the people that showed up hours early did have to wait until their section was allowed in.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Expect excellent service and staff and was not let down.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I did not see any areas that were not clean in the common areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was good. Balcony was great. Lack of electrical outlets was expected, but still a let down and I had to get an extension cord for my CPAP. No USB outlets, so wife and I were always swapping things out and had to prioritize which was plugged in at any given time. The Mattress was HARD. I was able to sleep, but did toss and turn. Next time will ask for a topper or something to soften the hardness.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5
Texas has some terrible rules related to alcohol, so could not get certain drinks the day we got on the ship and then they want a tax on any liquor brought back, if bought on ship or in port, they want their tax. Duty Free doesn't apply in Texas apparently.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Just did port shopping, no excursion. The vendors were friendly and not pushy!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Just did port shopping, no excursion. The vendors were friendly and not pushy!

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

Did not get off the ship. There were 4 ships in port (3 at international pier), so did not feel safe from a Covid perspective, so did not feel the need to shop in port was worth it.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Did self assist so I could get off ship as early as possible. The tv and announcements said to wait in room until the group # called. It was never called. When we went down, there was a HUGE line and they hadn't started to let us off yet. I saw people with group 2 and 3 cards in their hand and no one was checking them, so what was the point?
