Review summary

It was a nice getaway. The warm weather renewed us while we sipped on great drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. Many food options. Price was reasonable.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Emails we received had all the check marks completed. No mention of luggage tags. Porter handled the tags. We recieved email about tags AFTER we were on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We liked the options for complimentary dining locations.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Pool area lacked music. Having to wait until aboard ship to sign up to see entertainment was a process that should have happen before boarding. Would make for a more relaxing start to the trip. Took time to understand the process and therefore the shows were booked or on 10 p. m. shows available.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent Service.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Why is the casino still a smoking area? We are nonsmokers, so we didn't go there. The smokers can go to smoking area. Areas are clean and attractive. More seating needed in Atrium.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
We have always booked rooms with no windows and had a small couch. This room didn't even have a chair. No drawers for clothes. Shower was larger than expected. That was nice.

Ship tip

Book entertainment ASAP after boarding.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

4 out of 5
The crowd was moving all the time which was nice.

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
It's a stretch to say we visited Belize. Would have preferred docking at the mainland for the cultural experience.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
This was the highlight of our trip. We went on the buggy eco-friendly tour and visit to nature park. Holding a sloth was a lifetime memory.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
Pouring rain and thunder. Ship didn't dock at main port, so we stayed on the ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very efficent.
