Review summary

The hype around Mardi Gras is justified. You will love this ship!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Extremely crowded to get on the ship, probably due to everyone having to show their negative covid tests etc.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Very good! ChiBang was good but VERY small portions. Bonsai Teppanyaki tons of food and great presentation. Lobster in main dining room was outstanding. Pig & anchor a "10". Guys burgers disappointing though as they no longer serve fresh cut fries. Pizza and paninni excellent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Bolt roller coaster is amazing, huge Serenity deck, pools and hot tubs were great! The zip line is fun but I skipped the part over the water as the mechanism looked a little scary to me without a redundant safety, but many people did it without issue.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were top rate, very funny comedians in Punchliner (Percy Crews and Jim Brick) CD Chris is full of energy and has a great voice.

Children's Programs

Didn't take any kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always excellent, especially now that they get to work again!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Again, always well done.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

No time between airport and port

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Just walked around, no excursion, felt safe!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

1 out of 5
Had a terrible excursion, complained and got a partial refund. Port is difficult to find your way back to the ship.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Beautiful, our new favorite port. We did the 4 wheeler tour through the jungle and private beach. Lots of fun. Can't wait to go back!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very well organized, off by 8:20

We rode BOLT but got stuck in one of the angles. But, it was still super fun and they gave us another ride. I also did the zipline. It wasnt that bad. I really didnt think I could do it. Looking forward to our next 2 trips on Mardi Gras.
