Review summary

Not sure I'm liking the new class of ships rolling out. But I have been waiting for a pool on the Haven deck, so I'm kinda stuck. Put pools on the older ships and we have a deal!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
flawless

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room service was great if not rushed. Specialty restaurants (Cagneys and Los Lobos) were good. One buffet that was crowded, The Haven always good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pool on Haven deck was long overdue.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Saw Noise Boys, was a great show. Comedy was lame, music was almost non existent

Service and Staff

Most were eager to serve with a smile.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean ship. Good attention to detail. I don't like the layout of the ship. There were more common areas to convene in but they were smaller and more broken up. I like the feel of the Bliss, The breakaway and the encore more.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
perfect. Just what we needed. Plenty of room. Great closet. I want to take the bed home.

5 out of 5
Beautiful and had visited before. It was a rainy day on and off.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
access was difficult. The beach was awful. Everyone was in your face all the time. 18 bucks for tacos is a little outrageous. We left early.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Again, beach was very good; not Roatan, but very good.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
kept our bags. Makes all the difference.
