Review summary

It was a very enjoyable trip of getting to just relax and rest. The boat offered up a lot to do but being able to just simply rest and not be concerned with the rigors of life is so refreshing. The staff was exceptional and I have nothing negative to say about any of them. They all rose to the occasion.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It went so smooth and easy. They allowed us to board even earlier than our scheduled time. We were on the boat after a very minimal time of going through all the paperwork and necessities. It was great and hassle free.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff did a great job. Whether the room cleaning or the food serving, they did it really well and I personally never saw any with a noticeable bad attitude. Each and every one that I talked with was very personable and friendly and I enjoyed talking with them.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was very good. My wife and I enjoyed it tremendously. The room was a good size for the two of us. Having the balcony helped to make the room look even bigger. The view outside the room was enjoyable. To just sit and relax while out on the balcony was serene.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the Tulum Mayan ruin tour. The guide did a good job, and it was not too rushed. Able to take it all in, but not feel rushed or frantic like trying to cram stuff in.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

the weather did not cooperate. The boat was not letting people off due to the conditions.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Did the private resort snorkeling excursion. The weather was not cooperative, but it was still a very relaxing and enjoyable time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Were off the boat in minimal time. They did a really good job in getting us off the boat in an orderly way. Very smooth and hassle free.
