Not my favorite ship, VERY BIG (4400 pass.) Poor design, that is why they only made one in this class.

Review summary

We missed 2 ports, which made us go to Cozumel twice so that is a bummer. Food and staff were very good but too many people on a poorly designed ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Lots of storage, which was great but a VERY strange layout. You definitely want to get the bed close to the balcony (every other cabin is different) otherwise it is very hard for 2 people to get around the cabin.

Ship tip

Make as many dinner reservations as you can.

So you had a great time, but because you missed a port and visited the same port, you give the cruise a low rating. I wonder what your rating would be if the ship tried to dock in bad weather and tossed people around while disembarkating.

Our 1st cruise and have no expectations. We were disappointed that sea was rough that we missed the island beach and mexico.

Worst Cruise Ever

Would have been nice except we didn’t get to stop at two of our four ports.
