Review summary

Great family vacation. Clean nice ship. Can be as relaxing or busy as you choose. 3 generations, all enjoyed it!!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Long lines, I guess to be expected.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining and buffet food was good, not exceptional. Teppanyaki was fun for the family. Food good and entertainment excellent. Everyone enjoyed. Casey’s was a decent steakhouse. No Ruth’s Chris, but good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Son and grandson did rope course. More than once! Pool not near big enough for amount of people on ship ( and we were only 60% capacity). Felt far too crowded for comfort.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved “SIX”. Such talented ladies. Excellent show. Burn the floor was also good. Excellent dancers. Comedian was good, not great.

Children's Programs

Grandkids not interested in attending.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room steward did a great job. Servers in main dining excellent. Overall service was very good all around.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was fine for our sailing (at 60% capacity). But would not want to be on if full. Would be way to crowded. Very clean, though, was impressed by how it was constantly being cleaned.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Was disappointed they would not remove balcony divider between our adjoining cabins. (Celebrity did this for us when sailing with them). Room was fine. A typical balcony cabin.

Ship tip

Enjoy yourself!!! It’s vacation after all. Check bill carefully. I was double charged for several things. Was quickly resolved at Guest Services.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Love Miami. A vacation destination all its own. Would spend extra days here before or after.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the pool right at the port. Also, Aviary was really good. Grandkids (9 & 10) loved it. Didn’t do excursion.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

2 out of 5
Went to West Bay beach. Disappointing. Didn’t care for this port.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Loved Harvest Caye. Clean. Great pool and beach. Good drinks and food available. Careful of jellyfish. Daughter got stung in water. It’s nature, so can’t complain.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Didn’t dock at main port which wasn’t great. Did the dolphin excursion. Really enjoyed that.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Went smoothly.
