Review summary

I had fun and I would go again, but not having good quality fast internet is something to consider in 2019.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
No problems and the wait was not long.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Specialty restaurants were excellent, except I was not impressed with Cagneys steak restaurant. The Japanese restaurant was great and it was my favorite. The buffet was decent but I grew tired of going there. The wait at the bar to get a Diet Pepsi was excessive and the unlimited beverage package was not worth it.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pool rest and waterfall resting was excellent. However, the pool was small and only one was present.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All were good except the bartenders were not efficient and paid no attention to the crowd on who came first and who was waiting the longest. The bartenders worked hard and probably needed more help.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Excellent layout and design.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was a rear facing balcony room. I was happy with it. You can hear the engine and feel the rumble from time to time. Outside on the balcony was loud when the engines were roaring and the water was tumbling. The size of the room is similar to others I have stayed in and the room was clean. The guest room attendant was excellent. The bed was hard but tolerable. The bathroom was big enough.

Ship tip

Bring extension cords because there are few outlets and charging of electronics or use of medical devices can be limited significantly. The cost of internet access in 2019 is sad and should be free and part of the cruise cost.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Stayed three nights before the cruise. Miami Beach was nice. Restaurants are over priced for the quality and type of food available.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Beach tour was ok. The ride in a very small van was not comfortable and not easy.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
The beach front villas were excellent and well worth the money spent on this adventure. Bring your laptop, as the villas had free wifi.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Not much to do here.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I enjoy every time. We ate off the beaten path and it was nice and the internet was nice.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
This took too long on the ship to get off. Getting on was easy and getting off was difficulty and not well run. We cam in through the large atrium and out through the back halls and storage area of a lounge. I was not impressed with the departure morning.
