Review summary

Unfortunately we didn’t have great weather and a very rough sea day. The food was good, not great and I didn’t find a lot of activities that interested me. Internet service is awful. Sooooo slow. A disappointing trip and will be sticking to RCCL in the future.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Very disorganized, long line ups taking a lot of time to board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Dining room is great as well as specialty restaurants but book early. They fill up quick !

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
I found other ships had more activities.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
The comedy shows looked good but the venture was so small and filled up early. Could not get reservations. Stage shows were not to my liking. Cruise Director was boring.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Staff were for the most part very good. Cabin steward was awesome even though it was his last week

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Ship was very clean but soap dispensers and automatic towel machines were often malfunctioning. Compared to RCCL I don’t care for the Norwegian style ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was the usual and very clean but the balcony was VERY small. Almost laughable how small it is

Ship tip

Make reservations early !!

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

1 out of 5
Embarkation and de-embarkation is a disaster !!!! Weather was cold and wet in New Orleans

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5
No a clean place. We did a beach trip and it was crowded and not great. I wouldn’t care to go back

Harvest Caye, Belize

1 out of 5
Their private island. Nice beach area etc but none of your packages from the ship are valid on the island. Everything is expensive and a total rip off !

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

2 out of 5
Took a taxi to a beach. Nice beach but go just outside the port and it’s a dump.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Always enjoy Cozumel

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
I paid for priory access which supposedly included disembarkation. There was no such thing and staff had no idea Like the boarding of the ship a disaster and unorganized!
