Review summary

We had a wonderful cruise as always! I am not sure we would book another short cruise again. We did encounter more drunk passengers on this cruise then we have ever had. We didn't let them ruin our time, we tried to avoid the areas where they were being obnoxious. We understand everyone is entitled to enjoy their cruise differently.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The porter met us as soon as the car stopped we unloaded car and he promptly took our bags. Once inside we got checked in promptly without delay. Boarding the ship was quick and easy.

Garden Cafe / Kid's Cafe

5 out of 5

Breakfast omelets made fresh to order. Of course the afternoon ice cream is a must. Good selection, food was hot.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed relaxing on the sun deck, atrium, great outdoor cafe, and spinnaker lounge.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every staff member we came in contact with was friendly and helpful. Room steward responded promptly to requests.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We enjoy the ships with promenade deck for our walks. Atrium was busy with various music and activities. Sun deck was nice, not enough chairs untied so we had to untie the stack ourselves. The inside bathroom is a little convoluted, the commode is angled so taller men have to almost sit sideways to avoid knees hitting wall.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was a good size and kept clean by our steward. The bathroom layout is weird, my husband had to almost sit sideways so knees didnt hit wall due to angle of commode.

Ship tip

Make restaurant reservations early.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
The port was clean. The staff was somewhat disorganized when giving directions on where to go.

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
We didn't do any excursions, we just walked the beach and shopping areas and relaxed in beach chairs. There is a really nice kids water play area. Lots of things to do.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
No excursion, just shopping.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Disembarking was a little disorganized. Each staff person told you a different place to line up for the easy walk off process. They should have the process down and consistent every time.
