Review summary

It was a wonderful cruise. No complaints. When your on a cruise ship how can you be having a bad time ❤️

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was great. We had the arrival time of 9:00-9:30. We got into the terminal and had to wait until about 11:30ish. All in all it was not a problem. We had a place to sit and it was air conditioned. We always hear bad reviews of the process but it's usually always people who are late in the day arrivals who have negative reviews. I have always been first arrivals in the Port of New Orleans and have always gotten right on. No I am nor a Diamond Or Platinum, I am a Bronze(pretty low on the totem pole)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We always just eat at the buffets. The buffet on this ship was actually very good. They always served fresh food and had lots of it. Every night was a themed night in the buffet. We did eat at O'Sheenans, I think it was called,a few times. There food and service was top of the line also. Highly recommend them.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We used the pool area every day but all the other activities were themed for the younger ones (kids etc...) we would've used the water slides ( we are by no means elderly or seniors yet lol) but the stairs were such a climb that my jnees just couldn't do it. We don't do the co.edy shows or the musicals which I'm sure we're all amazing. We just like to stay with the outside at the top in the sunshine.

Entertainment

We just don't do the shows.

Children's Programs

No kids, but if I had brought my grand kids they would've loved it all! Lots to do for the kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was really wonderful hard working people and always tip them when you can. Our bar tenders were great and went above and beyond the call of duty! My husband is a recovering alcoholic and all he will drink is non-alcoholic beer. It's not always easy to get. The bar tender would go to different floor to other bars and always have his Heineken 00 ready for him. (Please not nasty comments on his drinking an non alcohol beer, I've heard it all and don't care to hear any more. He's a clean and sober man now for almost 3 years now) and yes we tipped them!

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
We love New Orleans! Great time but be careful.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
The port was Punta Langosta. Not a big fan of this port but Cozumel is awesome. We went ro Chankanaab Beach adventure park. Highly recommend this place.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Coxen Hole is not my favorite port. We went to Tabyana Beach. This is our 2nd time to this place and it never ceases to amaze me. The beach itself is said to be one of the most beautiful beaches that is natural and man made. The security there is wonderful. No need for a locker here. Vendors on the beach everywhere but security won't allow them to cross a security line. The snorkeling was and is the best snorkeling experience from a beach. I'm still in awe of its beauty. We say plenty of exotic fish, conchs, lobster, urchins and 2 reef sharks! It was amazing!

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Harvest Caye was amazing! On the elevator some women told us it sucked because you have to pay for your drinks and the ships drink package doesn't apply on the island. She was correct about the drink package not applying BUT if you're going to base your opinion on have to pay to get your drunk on and not base it on all the natural beauty that the island has to offer then you have a problem. This island is amazing!!! Lots of shopping, wild life sanctuaries a must see butterfly house and the beach is to die for! Love this place!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Costa Maya...no need for an excursion here! 2nd time here also. They have changed this place a lot since I was here last. So much to do here. Can't describe it all. A must do! My husband's happy place.

Disembarkation
