An amazing trip! Entertainment was so goo every night. The food was not the greatest, but food and staffing is hard anywhere right now. We would definitely book this ship again.

Review summary

Overall a good experience! We would book this ship again. The food was our biggest disappointment. The buffet offerings were limited and at times cold and inedible. With so many people on the ship there were long lines for most food offerings, and you had to arrive about an hour early for center stage entertainment.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great! We were through and on the boat within 45min. If we had not had children under 12 it would have been even faster.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was the worst part to us. Selection and quality wasn’t great. The buffet closed early, and the it was packed with lots of waiting due to the 5,800 people on board.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lido deck music was great. The ropes course was amazing fir kids and adults alike. My kids were thrilled with the roller coaster, and loved the choice of waterslides. We had fun doing miniature golf as a family as well.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
We hated that there was no one encouraging and monitoring hand washing. The tables in the buffet were always littered with dirty dishes making it hard to sit and find a seat anywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

Worked great for us! Plenty of storage and many USB ports and outlets

Rude shop keepers, and too many locals on the beach hounding you to buy their things constantly. Overall, the locals were just not friendly or appreciative. Everyone wanted tips/money and outwardly asked for them.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
