Review summary

overall, we had a great time on the ship and staff was very attentive. food was good and plentiful, however, choices were limited in the buffet. we had a great time during our excursion in cozumel, snorkling with stingrays, starfish, tropical fish, turtles and even a barracuda! (Thankfully, I was not in the water at that time). at costa maya, we went to maya luna a private resort where we had this area all to ourselves and attentive hosts who cooked up a delicious lunch and provided snacks. a nice getaway from crowds

Embarkation

4 out of 5
embarkation was good, staff was patient and helpful but mistakes did happen and my husband was listed under the wrong member

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
butchers cut which was a specialty restaurant was fantastic and service was wonderful! the main diningrooms were good but the buffet was the same thing everyday and not as good as prior sailings

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
we participated in trivia, pools, pingpong and the water park and all was good

Entertainment

3 out of 5
the shows were average and not sure if its because staff was difficult to attain due to covid but all did their best to entertain!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
staff was very attentive and couldnt do enough for you!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
we liked the ships design, however, as we are still in a pandemic and expectations are high as far as cleanliness goes, we were disappointed to hear some of the cabins had possessions that were left from behind from the previous sailings. also, it didn't seem like every venue was sterilized/cleaned after every event/activity

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
cabin and balcony was a good size for both my husband and I with exception of storage space. our steward, Paul Providence did a fantastic job of making sure we had everything we needed and kept our room clean! he is a hard worker and very pleasant to talk to!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
we had a great time at ocean cay and did the lighthouse tour. unfortunately, due to having to leave the port earlier than expected, we did not get to stay on the reserve and had to view the show from the ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
quick and smooth process
