Review summary

This was our first cruise, we didn't know what to expect and we enjoyed ourselves very much. The crew was excellent and the ship itself was great, it was a medium size cruise ship and so it wasn't over crowded.

Outstanding there were many, many things to do, but once we got on board we just wanted to kick back and enjoy the pool and the view.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
This was our entry point so we just flew in and went to the ship.

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
This was very nice place to visit the internet was down so we couldn't buy anything using credit card and didn't really bring enough cash. The snorkeling excursion was good, excellent crew who worked very hard too make the experience enjoyable.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
We did a 3 hour excursion to the Mayan Temples, that seemed a little rushed but we didn't want to do a full day. But it was very interesting.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
This process was orderly but takes awhile, but that it is to be expected with everyone leaving at basically the same time.
