Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We are dinner at the steakhouse and the Japanese restaurants. The food was delicious. The steak was the best I ever had. We ate breakfast at the buffet which was good, just need to cook their bacon more. Every day the bacon was very undercooked.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The pool area was really nice. My only complaint is there was not enough servers around the pool area. You had to wait in long lines for drinks which sucked. Who wants that on vacation?

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows were pretty good. The comedian wasn’t really that good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our statesman Victor was friendly and provided excellent service. He knew us by name which felt nice.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5

The beach at Cozumel was ok. Nothing to brag about. We didn’t do any official excursions. Good place to get your shopping done.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5

I loved the beach in Costa Maya. The water was clear, the sand was white, the people were friendly. I would recommend “The Blue Reef” on the beach. All you can eat and drink for $49 which also includes kayaking and snorkeling equipment. Don’t forget to get your $20 hour beach massage while you are there.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

This was the worst part of our experience. For what ever reason we were chosen by US customs to go through our luggage when returning home. They went through all our stuff then pushed suitcase by to my husband to rearrange and put everything back together. As far as the cruise line, the embarkation was very organized.
