Review summary

We wanted to unplug and relax so this cruise was perfect. Sometimes traveling can add stress! This short 5 night trip had 2 sea days, perfect for non scheduled fun. The day we spent at CoCo Cay- bought beach club tickets- was perfect. Food was amazing and so was the day, Cozumel was less than perfect for us. We took a chocolate tasting excursion and it was disappointing.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Was somewhat hectic. We had a Jr Suite with priority boarding but it was not well marked. Once we found the correct line, process was smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We cruised with a group of Celiacs, all with a gluten free kitchen and dining room. This is a BIG deal for those of us with gluten restrictions. It was heaven to be able to eat with confidence and the food was all delicious. My lack of the 5th star is due to the lack of GF choices outside of RC’s committed times. It was marketed that we would have GF options at Playmakers and a couple other places but that was not true. There should always be allergen friendly options available on any cruise ship at all times.

This Jr Suite was fantastic. Huge sitting area, larger bathroom, walk in closet, big balcony. It was well with the upgrade.
