Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
If your a foodie , then this cruise isnt for you . Food was tasteless, raw and lacking pizzazz! The pizza was ok , somewhat salty but ok. Burger and sweet potato fries are good . The drinks are watered down . I had pins colada and every time it was watery. One night my husband and I decided to eat in one of the dining rooms. We ordered veggie rolls as our appetizers and a sauce Well what was supposed to be a sauce came as a gelatin substance when I said something to the waiter he went a spoke to the chef and they redid it . And what I got the second time was a sauce .... we went hungry a few night on this cruise. And there desserts are a joke. Compared to other cruises's they are lacking big time .

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Just ok , no wow . So dont set your expectations for one either. Alot of time was wasted. If you say we are leaving at 5 . I expect to leave at 5 not 8 ... the parade on their island..smh. 12 hours on an island with nothing to do. Just beach. Then there alot of flies everywhere at the buffet ,bars etc. Wherever the got the sand from I believe it had fly lava in it. Then they dont allow you to take shells from there island but dont check you for shells form other islands.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff we encountered are amazing. Our room steward did an amazing job keeping our room together, some days we just told him not to worry . One less room . The bathroom always smelled like 💩. They should really work on fixing that. ... one thing that confused my hubby and myself is that when you purchase liquor on board at the shops , they hold it until the last day of your cruise but they let you come on from different ports with bottles of whatever. Which is very dangerous! Also their screening abilities are very questionable, after our Jamaican port of call ,all you smelled after was weed all over the ship .

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Not a flashy ship , clean, furniture was old for our crusie but upon disembarktion they were placing the old for new ones.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice size balcony. They call it a balcony suite but it's just a regular balcony. They need to fix the Sewage because if the ppl on your line is going .. your gonna smell it .

Ship tip

Don't! Not organize.... the end

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

1 out of 5
After a whole day ar sea my husband and I just wanted some good food . So we walked out and booked a driver to take us around .. he was awesome. Ask for cash

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

1 out of 5
Waste of time and an island. They need to take pointers from other crusie companies who have their island. BORING !

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

1 out of 5
A tourist attraction... go to the water park absolute fun

Miami, Florida

1 out of 5

George Town, Grand Cayman

@JT1962 You can't say what a person is because everyone's taste is different. I bet you are one of those people who hides behind the internet and makes slick comments to people with no profile pic and a non descript username. I've been on NCL and had a great time, I've also been on Carnival and had a horrible time. You can't tell what someone is built for, worry about yourself. Before making a comment again, make sure you think outside of yourself and consider what the next person has been through.

Budget line (NCL, RCI, Carnival, MSC) cruising is not for foodies.

Definitely sounds like cruising isn’t for you. Most love it, but it’s not for everyone. If someone can’t find something to eat on a cruise they either have serious food allergies or are way too picky.

Your cruise might of been lousy but you really missed so much in Costa Maya it’s the most beautiful place with great restaurants, bars and the bluest clear water Shame u missed that side of this port ...
