Review summary

Our cruise on the Mardi Gras was great. The crew are so friendly and helpful. They are what makes the cruise also. We met so many nice people and became instant friends.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We arrived a little earlier than our boarding time but we were able to start the boarding process anyway

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We really only ate in the main dining rooms this time and the buffet and the food as Good. No complaints

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We only played miniature golf which was really fun. And celebrated the 50th Birthday of Carnival with the Tik Tok dancing and ship meet up

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were fantastic. They were all new ones for the Mardi Gras. The musicians in all the venues were also excellent

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was fantastic from all the crew. Our steward were the best. They were so friendly and felt like family, even got a hug goodbye. Our Waiters were also so friendly always making sure we had whatever we needed. Guest Services was also helpful when I had a problem with a double charge, she took care of it right away.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout was really good, (I thought I would get lost). you never felt like there were 5000+ people on the ship. I like how there are food venues all over the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size of the cabin is a bit smaller. But to us the bathroom is much smaller. But we love that they have glass shower doors now. It was very clean our stewards were great.

Ship tip

Try the speciality restaurants cause we didn't. And don't miss the shows.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We were there before this. We did the "Roatan Give back to the Community" excursion. (thru Shore Excursion Group) We visited an Orphanage and had an island tour also stopped at a chocolate factory. (it was just the 2 of us with our guide)

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We were here one other time but didn't do an excursion. This time we Did the"Mayan Experience" excursion. ( Thru Shore Excursion Group) We went to a Mayan ruin and was told about the history and we also went to a Mayan family home where we made our own tortillas then had lunch of Tamales, Chicken and rice and Vegetables and delicious dessert. It was a great excursion, and our Guide Edder and driver Abner from Native Choice were great.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We just went off the ship and shopped a little

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We are platinum so we were able the disembark right away, it went so smoothly. And the best is they have the Photo Recognition customs so it was very quick.
