Review summary

We are hooked on Cruising! No sea sickness with so much fun. We were moving from morning to late night with so many activities and dining choices. Of you always had some relaxation time at the pools. Again, so many to pick from. Then you have your port of calls that just makes it so much more exciting!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Ship was late into Port, yet had people moving quickly through all the lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
No more than a 10 minute wait for any restaurant that we wanted to eat at. So many selections to pick from. Their grill Saloman was prefect each time we had it plus the Chocolate Melting Pot dessert was to die for.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed everything from the water slides, rope obstacle course, jogging track, cornhole toss, to the gym with treadmills, free weights and weight machines. The pool deck parties where a lot of fun plus we learned to line dance as well. Sadly, we missed the Roller Coaster because of high winds on the last 2 days, but we will be back to check this off our buck list. We had a blast do the Scavenger Hunt even though we did not win. Too many more experienced people then us.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the most the shows. The magician needed to sharpen his show as you could see how he was doing his tricks. All the main stage shows were high end quality performers. Most the comedians were funny. Always had to wait in a line for the comedy events but less then 30 minutes to get in. Best part was they always had repeat shows, so if you did not make one you could pick it up later.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff was friendly and helpful. Our steward always remembered our names even though we had very little interaction with him.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All spaces were being cleaned up as soon as people left to be ready for the next guests sitting, whether at the pool, deck eating area or the buffet.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
All I can say is "New is Nice" plenty of space to put all our things. Outlets for electronics were plentiful. Cabin was clean and nice design.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Easy in and out from Orlando.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Technically we did not see Cozumel as our excursion was on the mainland that we took a ferry to.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
No excursion here, just walked to the other side of the island to see the town and the beaches. Sadly they were dealing with a huge seaweed problem so it was smelly and no pretty beaches to walk along.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Beautiful port with clear blue water. Did a Catamaran ride with snorkeling. The excursion was priced fairly and had a wonderful time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Their process for getting people off quickly and timely was perfect. Once we were called we did not stop moving until we got to our bus to take us back to the airport.
