We ate mainly in the MDR but we did eat breakfast and lunch a few times in the Windjammer. Very good variety of food.

We stayed in the Solarium area which was nice.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We enjoyed all the stage shows. The ice show was very entertaining. We spent a lot of time at Boleros and the music was always great. Loved the 70’s and 80’s parties in the Promenade. So fun.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I have never felt so pampered and important. We were asked every day about our dining experience and what they could do to make it better. Alan at Boleros remembered our drink preferences and was just wonderful. Our steward Reul made sure we had ice every day after asking just once. The whole staff was friendly and polite and extremely accommodating.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The bathrooms are a little small but it was never a problem. The beds were on the firm side but the pillows were amazing.

Ship tip

Have breakfast and lunch in the MDR. It’s nice to be pampered a little.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

We went to the Chaccobean ruins. There’s walking involved and although they recommended long pant and close toed shoes, you’re going to be HOT so I suggest shorts and a hat

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

The port is very nice and there’s terrific shopping and restaurants. We were at the International port so we were a few miles away from Cozumel itself.
