Review summary

I booked this a week before embarkation because of last minute deal. Okay ship, too large for my taste but I can turn an average trip into a relaxing sea cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Let me say first, I didn’t have to plan, shop and cook for 11 days and that is great. As far as the selections, I feel it was average. Salad fixings were sparse.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I like to walk outside but if the weather isn’t cooperative then it’s the fitness center. The available machines were plenty but the TV and radio were not working on the machine all week. I like to distract myself when walking and was unable to do that.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Burn the Floor and Six were great. Unable to get reservations for comedians because sold out quickly.

Children's Programs

No children with me.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most staff were happy to help but done couldn’t crack a smile.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Smoke permeating from the casino was awful. Only one pool for 3900 guests. Very crowded atrium on deck 7.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Small room, no couch, limited storage, nice bathroom.

Ship tip

Make as many show reservations as possible far in advance of sailing.

Port under construction. Fabulous day at golf beach resort. Rainy season meant many sand fleas. I had 24 bites regardless of bug spray.

Cozumel, Mexico

Been there done that. Excursion cancelled.
