Review summary

It was a nice relaxing cruise but I feel like at times there was not much to do. I was also traveling with my 92 year old mother so I was limited as to what she would enjoy doing.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
I was traveling with my 92 year old mother and they did let us go in a line to process faster, but they did not offer her a wheel chair to actually get on the ship and it was a long walk for her.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffets were pretty good, a wide variety of food. I felt like the main dining rooms had pretty much the same food every night and the specialty restaurants had small portions in some of them, enjoyed the steak house the best. The Italian restaurant needs more options.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Did not do any of the big shows, not sure my 92 year old mother would enjoy them and the music was so loud. We mostly spend time in the Atrium where they did game shows and had a few musical performers. There was limited seating there and it was always so crowded. We wanted to do Bingo, but they only had the jackpot Bingo which was 39$ to play, we just wanted regular bingo.

Entertainment

Did not attend, was not sure my 92 year old mother would enjoy it and the music was to loud.

No kids with us

5 out of 5
Was a nice place, our guide was amazing. We had a good day here.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Nice beach area. We went on the Black Swan tour and it was running way behind and all it was for us was a quick boat ride out to sea and back. They did a little history and gave us rum punch, but we did not see any thing but water.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
We did the glassbottom kayack on this excursion, it was OK, the beach was nothing special and there were a lot of ants on the beach.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
We did the National Park on this one, the beach area was very small and a lot of rocks trying to get into the water, not a place for older people, you really need water shoes to go in this water. Was disappointed in the beach.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I could not believe how easy it was to disembark the ship, however, again it was a long walk off for my 92 year old mother.

Hard to comment that there was not much to do on board if you choose not to do any of the activities.
