Review summary

We had a wonderful cruise. I would recommend the following: orange juice dispensers well displayed for breakfast; improve the hot dog quality ( cheeseburger was delicious); include a highly regarded fish as chefs choice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Surya was an amazing waiter at our dining. Renee was a wonderful housekeeper for our room. The bartenders were great but there was a difference by location. Sports bar was excellent. Sometimes younger guests were preferred over older guests at pool bars.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout was exceptional. The elevator in the back of the ship requires some additional directions for passengers if they choose to go to an adjoining floor.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Our cabin was comfortable. Our cabin was kept clean and serviced well. Mattresses were very comfortable.

Ship tip

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did he panoramic tour. Our tour guide was fantastic and I highly recommend.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

2 out of 5
This was a wonderful day. I don’t think you need to suggest to cruisers that they should secure umbrellas early as there was plenty of time. Also the beach bar service on the island was subpar as I waited twenty minutes and decided to leave. Suggestion..more bartenders on the private island.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
The ruins were fantastic. This was a wonderful experience.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Wonderful port. Did a tequila tour and went downtown for shopping and entertainment. Highly recommend.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
The disembarkation was excellent. We were held up for a ‘left something in your room’ reason but that was eventually cleared.

Why only 1 star if it was excellent?

From your detailed and informative review, my guess is you meant to rate your room and disembarkation as a 4 or 5 star. Sounds like a great cruise.
