Good service, nothing stood out.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This big ship needed middle elevators. Long walk to go up or down. Overall the ship is great!!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Pretty small, but big enough I guess. No lotions. Power requires a card in a slot, went to front desk and got an extra card to keep the power on all the time, very unnessasary.

Ship tip

Get an extra room card for power to stay on. Try to get close to an elevator.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

2 out of 5
The terminal is the problem. Long lines to get on and getting off is almost as bad, can only load one bus at a time. very slow.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Private excursion to Mr. Santos. We would recommend this.

Beautiful new private island, just relax!!

Belize City, Belize

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

Poydras Street East to roundabout by Hilton Riverwalk, across tracks, right on Port of New Orleans Pl to Julia Street, right on Julia St, Baggage drop is right there as is Port Parking. Julia St is a one way West. Hope this helps.

What is the alternate way?

You were on the cruise after us. What were the terminal problems? What time did you arrive for embarkation? We left out motel 10ish in the FrenchQuarter, through security and checkin and boarded by 11ish! Traffic to get to terminal down convention Blvd was horrible, but there is an alternate route that is way quicker. Sorry you had problems
