Embarkation

Lots of waiting, and standing. If had known would take so long would have gotten wheelchair for my husband. Took half the cruise for him to recover energy.

Service and Staff

All the staff was friendly and helpful. We especially appreciated the waiters we had for dinner.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Was nice. Overall layout was good to keep noisy areas separate enough from areas could go to be quiet.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Beds were hard, and cabin small as expected, but overall had all we needed. Balcony was nice sized, and had comfortable chairs.

Ship tip

Be sure to get a drink package to be able to get unlimited bottled water to drink.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
Easy to get to. Had some issue with passengers arriving for drop off at the same time as passengers waiting for pick up and trying to leave, all in the same lanes, causing long backups.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Beautiful green and blue. We did not get off ship because have been to Nassau before.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful. Nice place to relax. Enough space to spread out for passengers to not all be clustered together.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Staff on water taxies that took passengers to port were very friendly and helpful. Shopping area was nice. Did the city tour. Was interesting and informative.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Nice area. Easy on off ship. Personally don't appreciate the continual press to get you into their store to shop.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Set up to have wheelchair assist after experience boarding. Wait wait wait. Terminal all backed up because some passengers luggage was not off ship.
