Review summary

A cruise is what you make of it. Yes, we didn’t care for this boat, but it was warm and we were out of the cold!! We would not go again on this boat.

1 out of 5
Two hour plus wait in line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was very good!

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Limited small hot tubs or physical activities.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
There was only one “real” type of show - “After Midnight”. They were excellent. Lots of comedy shows if that is something you enjoy.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
At times the wait staff seemed frantic and/or had too many people to serve.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Levels 6-7 were the shopping and restaurant areas. They all opened up at one area and you could see all three floors. However, the casino was in the middle floor. It made all the levels smell like smoke.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The bed skirt had to be changed because it was dirty and there were undergarments from the previous cruisers under the bed...

Ship tip

Plan for a long waits in line. Take advantage of their library and game room for something to do.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

2 out of 5
There were peddlers on the beach break. I counted at least 20+ different items. They were constantly harassing everyone - everything from merchandise to pictures with monkeys. I could barely see the water, because they kept standing around.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Very commercial, but nice beach.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

Unsafe to dock, due to weather.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Very smooth!
