Great family vacation

Probably the best ship I've been on. She hits on all cylinders. Great bars, great restaurants and blazing fast premium internet.

I had a great time… the only downside is that i traveled for my bday ( 3/30) and had plans for Costa Maya… because I wasn’t able to get off the ship ( for safety reasons). I asked for some sort of compensation or dinner credit and received nothing. Sad!
