Review summary

I almost canceled because of the negative reviews. It was actually a very nice cruise. Staff were friendly and food was tasty, although one or two options were not good. The ship is clean and staff were always cleaning. My only negative is staff coming around to offer specialty restaurants or drinks package while you are eating, but I guess those instructions come from the top.

5 out of 5
We were at Mahogany Bay. Very nice

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Nice and new however I think after the sun sets most guests went back onboard so the island seemed desolate. Activities that guests may want to see clashed with dinner times i.e. Junkanoo parade

Belize City, Belize

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Glad you had a wonderful cruise and did not cancel it for other people opinions. It’s always better to make own experiences. I was on this ship for a 2 week repositioning cruise from NYC to Miami and we had a blast. Surely there are things that could have been better but the over all experience was fabulous.

Glad you enjoy, everyone is looking for something different. I see very negative reviews on some of the cruises we have taken and I felt just the opposite.
