Review summary

It was an enjoyable experience for our family. To experience all they had to offer, I would need another week.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Embarkation waiting area was very congested, sometimes standing room only.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR was average. We really enjoyed Cucina del Capitano and Chibang.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Plenty of trivia and various activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved comedian Jim Brick. Other comedians were good as well ( just not as good as Jim Brick). :). Center stage: Rock Revolution was a great show, enjoyed Finish the Lyrics with Cruise Director Cookie; nice 80s deck party

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff was friendly and helpful. Staff shortage very noticeable (hence pack your patience). With around 5500 passengers they did not have enough staff to accommodate. That’s a management issue more so than staff. As usual, they worked hard and with a smile. Loved our room steward.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I was not always sure where to go and found myself turned around a few times.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a family harbor ocean view. For 3 people, it was spacious. I liked the elongated room although bathroom space was sacrificed. Liked the shower door. Did not miss the old curtain. Also, on the family harbor deck 4, there is a great family lounge area with video games, food, ice cream, and soda. A nice spot for kids to hang out.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the beach and our chair lift ride to get there.
