Review summary

A few years ago we took a Disney cruise and people told me we would never be happy on any other cruise line because Disney was so perfect. That statement is very wrong. The ship was clean, staff great, a good and tasty variety of food and good entertainment. The boys enjoyed the activities designed for them much more than on the other cruise. This cruise could only be better if it was free!

Food and Dining

The main dining rooms had a nice selection of food. The buffet had a different theme every night, so the meals were never boring.

Onboard Activities

Learning new dances, watching a movie, listening to bands in the atrium, playing deal or no deal, attending some entertainment like Burn the Floor and Cirque steam and Dreams. My grandsons loved the teen room, arcade and pool

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The design was fine. Everywhere I went, their was a staff member wiping down walls, hand rails, sweeping carpets and floors

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was fine for us, two teenage boys and me

Ship tip

Be sure to attend the entertainment that is offered. The entertainment director is fantastic, as is his staff. Take advantage of all the fee entry but I encourage you to see Burn the Floor and Cirque Dreams and Steam. Well worth the money.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Nice, friendly people. Would highly recommend the Mayan Experience, visited Mayan ruins then had lunch in a Mayan village. Our guide was from the village, so we heard quite a lot of history and what life was/is like in the viu

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We went to a Mexican museum, made our own chocolate bar and painted a figure of fantasy type animals. The method is call alebrijes. Once again, our guide was local, had great pride in her country and made the tour wonderful.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
