Review summary

Overall your vacation is what you make it. I had an amazing time and again as a regular cruise this experience was phenomenal. As the "Sailabration" that was advertised, it was NOT. And because of this, I will never pay the extra for a specialty cruise again. I will continue to take regular cruises

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation went very smoothe. Used VeriFly and all they had to do was make sure my passport matched my face.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The staff was excellent, but the food was lacking and usually served cold. Buffets did not have much variety.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
They advertised this cruise as as 50th birthday "Sailabration" and then cancelled many of the advertised activities at the last minute. If this were a "regular" cruise it would have been great. As a specialty "Sailabration" it was not.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were amazing and DJs were great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff on this ship were amazing and made my trip very worth while.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Yes, clean ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was as expected.

Ship tip

It's a big ship so bring walking shoes as elevators are slow and fill fast. Get to shows and events about 30 minutes early for good seats.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Did the monkey and sloth excursion. 5 stars!!!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

1 out of 5
I felt blatant racism at this port. If you are a person of color the locals will ignore you, refuse to take your order and act like you don't exist. Went back to the ship early because I love Mexico and this was very upsetting.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel did not disappoint. Beautiful beaches, rich culture, and inclusion of everyone. 5 Stars

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Went smoothe

We were on Breeze and we felt the same about Sailabration. Much ado about nothing.
