Review summary

We may have been disappointed with the some things on the ship. However, we enjoyed our time together. We plan to cruise again!!!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Excellent

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Most of the food was over cooked. I believed they started too early to get things done where the food waited under heat lamps too long. Buffet had almost the same exact thing every day. Dinners had special themes but not pleasing. Specialties were no better then dining rooms. Dining rooms were better then the rest for food taste, but some service was no up to par.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the activities they had in the Atrium. The pool area was very crowded so we stayed away.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Rock of Ages was a little provocative for me. The story could have been told without some of the outfits and dances. The language was a bit much as well. There was an announcement of the maturity of the show prior to the show, but even that announcement was a bit too much. The comedy show was excellent!!!!! Really liked it. Escape from the Big Top was believe to must attending the same time we did thought it was a comedy magic show, not an Escape Room. Burn the Floor was great!!!! Enjoyed the music, the mix of dancing, costumes, and singing was right on!!

Children's Programs

did not bring kids

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room Seward was unavailable every time we called. Had to call a couple of times. He did his job every day just was not available when we had an issue. Bartenders were great, they waited on every one in an orderly fashion, did not make anyone wait too much. They were completely aware as new guest walked up. Found it disturbing that my gratuity would not go to them at all.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It was confusing the first couple of days, but made sense and we became familiar as the week went on

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin is a bit small. the distances between the bed and wall could stand to be just a few more inches. The bathroom is too small as well. The distance on either side of the toilet need just a couple more inches. The balcony could not even have the chairs facing out, REALLY!!! However, our stateroom was clean every time we left it. Thanks Every night we could hear the thumping and bass from the music in the Breakaway Theater. We could not sleep until the shows were over each night. Very Frustrating!

Ship tip

I do not know what to say

Ports of call

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We took the Land and Sea Tour. The guide for the land tour was too young to give answer our questions or give us some good information about the island's history. The sea guides were awesome. They took us snorkeling which was totally awesome!!!!!

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
We went shopping not to the each. The port was nice, appeared planned and constructed nice. I liked the design and layout of the shops.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
We went shopping here as well. Was very tired of the pressure sales by the time we were half through the shops, did not go into any of the rest, just went back to the ship.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We took the Dune Buggy and snorkeling excursion. It was awesome. Although the snorkeling was from the beach and did not have as many reefs as we saw in Roatan Honduras. The dune buggy drive was so cool!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No waits, just walked right off and through Customs

If they give a provocative warning about the maturity of the show but you choose to watch it anyway, are you allowed to complain about the maturity of the show?
