Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was very good. There were lines for the dining rooms but they moved quickly.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were so many things to do on the ship. There was so many activities that we had a lot to choose from. We did trivia and watched game shows, dance lessons, etc.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment was incredible. We went to Cirque Dreams which was fascinating. It was hard to believe that they were doing those acrobatics on the ship that was rocking. Burn the Floor was quite good also. The entertainment in the bar venues was fantastic!! Our favorite was The Cavern Club. The band, 4Blue, was so good and so much fun as they interacted with the audience. The Epic Beatles were really good also. Loved the entertainment on the ship!!

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff on the ship were helpful and feiendly. Our room steward, Randall, was so so attentive, helpful and sweet. The waiters and bar staff wee so interesting to talk to. Many of them were part of the attraction for going to a particular place.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship is beautiful. We easily figured out where we were going.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had an aft balcony cabin. There was more than adequate storage. It was quite a nice room. The wavy design of the cabin made the room seem smaller, however.

4 out of 5
Very nice. Husbands did Dunn’s River Falls and the Raggae party boat. That was fun ... the Falls were rigorous. Then we hired a cab to drive us around the high points of the island. That was fun.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
We did Turtles,Turtles and more Turtles. Fun excursion but probably didn’t need to be as long at the facility.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Great day of beach and pool!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
We did the Mayan Ruinsat Chacchoben. They were quite interesting but difficult to do for someone with limited mobility. The terrain was such that I had to pay very close attention to the ground which was wet, uneven with lots of rocks and tree roots. We were beat at the end of the day.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We decided to cancel our planned excursion to more ruins after yesterday’s excursion. We hired a taxi to drive us around. You can get a decent deal if you can haggle. We visited a few beach areas and little shops. We visited a local Tequila distillery and tasting. That was fun..

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Getting off was not too bad, but getting luggage and out of the port was a bit grueling.
