Review summary

There were 2 days at sea and some bad weather that prevented passengers from using the outdoor amenities. Because of this, I am glad that I bought the spa access pass. It was worth the cost. We went for several hours each day.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Lines to check in were long. How about some music or entertainment to get us in vacation mode?

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We stuck with the main dining rooms (there are 3). The Tropicana has live music and is the largest of the 3 so there was little wait time for a table. Staff was all very pleasant. Good variety of food choices. Nothing extraordinary, but nothing bad.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We were in some bad weather and couldn't enjoy the outdoor activities as much as we would have liked. There was a lot of variety of things to do, from games to fitness center.

Service and Staff

Everyone was very pleasant, but no one stood out or went above and beyond.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Lots of elevators. Everything was very clean. Layout is well thought out so that everyone did not congregate in one area.

Ship tip

The ship is big. Be prepared to walk a lot. Plan on where you want your cabin to be. We originally were assigned a cabin on the 12th deck aft. We upgraded to the 5th deck forward. Great move.

Ports of call

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

We went snorkeling. Beautiful.

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
Private Island. Don't do a shore excursion. You can walk off the ship and lay out at the beach with no worries. If you want a lounge by the pool, get there early.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
We took an excursion to the Ruins and then went to the beach/shopping area. The beach is gross. Lots of algae. However, you can get a massage or just relax.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Shopped for souvenirs. Heavy rain. Glad we didn't do any excursions.
