Review summary

This was a nice cruise. Very friendly staff, good food, great casino. I do think that it was a step above any carnival cruise that I have taken. The entertainment was ok but they could use better bands and singers. Duty free shopping is offered onboard but the prices are about the same as ebay prices.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

No lobster night on this cruise!!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The art auction was lame and VERY unaffordable.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The couple singing on the main stage were more like a cheap karaoke band. Just not good. I felt that all of the entertainment was about as cheap as they could get.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Vincent, my cabin steward was great!! Wilma at the craps table was a joy.

Ship tip

Food was not bad. The food was better than Carnival but not as good as Royal.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

1 out of 5
Watch you butt in this town!!! Lots of crime.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Great port. We felt very safe here.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Belize City is VERY dangerous. When you come here, ONLY do a ship excursion or get a water taxi to Caye Caulker

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
Only take a ship sold excursion here. The cab drivers will rip you off.Its a $3.00 cab ride to the West End but most cabs wanted $60.00!! Some will tell you $3.00 to take you back to the ship but end up wanting $30.00 to $60.00 when you get there. This is a beautiful place but just be careful here.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Take a cab into Costa Maya. This is a great little place with beautiful beaches and cool little bars.

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

It seems that rather than raise rates, cruise lines are cutting back instead.
