Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The food and drinks were sub par

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
The party areas on certain decks were below average, very hot and not spacious

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The shows were disappointing, all the shows were pretty much the same, the comedy show was the only different one

Children's Programs

I’m not a child nor do I have children

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
The service was good for the first 2 days everything else was horrible, no new towels had to ask for more towels over and over before anything was done.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The layout of the ship is horrible, why have so many different elevators?? Ship was clean appearance wise though.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The only time the cabin was clean was when we went to sleep at night and only for the first 2 days. The bed was comfortable and the patio was nice.

Ship tip

Refund your money.

Ports of call

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Awesome place to visit, nice water

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
It was okay just to many tourists, don’t get caught in all the scams

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
This was a little better than costa Maya still touristy though, we swam with dolphins highlight of the trip!

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Disembark was a total disaster. One of the engines broke from Cozumel all the way back to Port Canaveral. We didn’t start disembarking untill 10:30am and the last person didn’t get out until 1:36pm.
