Review summary

We loved this cruise, we could do as much or as little as we wanted. We like sea days and this had 4 of them. Lots to do in ports. Ship was beautiful and is very easy to navigate around in. We love seeing other cultures and a cruise like this one gives a variety all in one vacation.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
New Orleans terminal congested and not well marked.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Clean facilities, polite staff, beautiful decor. Delicious food!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pool way to small for 4000 passengers. Fitness center well maintained and equipped. Miniature golf nice. Lots of areas to sunbathe. Love the waterfront. It's a wonderful place to sit and read, nap, or relax.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Saw Dizzy a magician- Great Show! Burn the floor and rock of ages are VERY adult oriented and did not care for all the sexually digested material. Cirque of dreams was amazing feats of physical talent. Howl at the moon is amazing musical talent!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff was amazing! Very attentive and polite.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love how all things are easily accessible and all in decks 6, 7, and 8. Never saw anything dirty. The whole crew does an amazing job!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room size is sufficient for two people. Would be cramped with any more. We had an aft facing balcony and we loved it! Had enough room for 2 chairs and 2 loungers.

Ship tip

No need to over pack clothes. No need to dress up if you don't want to.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

2 out of 5
Again, terminal small, tight, congested, not very well marked.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

4 out of 5
We did the bob sleds and climbed the Dunn River Falls. Had a blast! High pressure sales for you to buy their gifts but just keep walking. They are harmless.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
Did the dolphin encounter and swam with stingrays. What an experience! Would have loved to shop in town but didn't have enough time but beautiful port.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
We didn't caye much for the selection of excursions here but did a zip line right next to the ship at the port. 1st time and it was a good one for a first time.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Loved it! Did the zip line course and had fun! Im even afraid of heights but staff is very good at making you feel secure. Parasailed!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
LOTS of high pressure selling here! A lot of them sell the same stuff. One guy even said he had junk to buy. Lol. Didn't do any excursions here but will try the zip line and water park next time. Looks fun.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Tulum ruins very neat! Large mall-type shopping at the end of the pier and a starbucks!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were self- assist and carried our own luggage off so we were off in no time.

Swabby, good comments, that’s why we enjoy cruising rather than land based vacays. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
