Review summary
I’ll start by saying the crew was amazing, the haven outside bar staff was great as well as our butler, the only reason this is a 2 and not a 1. That being said, the cruise was nothing but disappointment. Starting with the food. The food was mediocre at best, I can cook better, and I expect a 5 star restraunt to cook better than me. Every steak I had was bland and / or over cooked. Even at the steak house, the rib eye was bland and chewy. Seafood was also bland and wasn’t fresh ( you would think on a cruise the seafood would be good). Every single day I was hoping for something tasty and it was just disappointment after disappointment. Ports… costa maya is a tourist trap if you want to goto the beach it’s a 40 min walk so your forced to pay minimum $60 to rent a golf cart. Belieze was nice. The 3rd stop I can’t tell you because we didn’t stop there because of wind, even though we heard through the grapevine that other ships docked there and another ship took our dock instead. So technically we paied their dock fees. The 4th stop was also such a tourist trap I can’t even remember the name. Soooo we only went to 1 beach the whole trip. The final straw for me was I was excited to do the go carts, and for some reason after the race my car didn’t register so I have no idea how I did. What is the point of racing if you don’t even know how you did? Last off, this is minor, but they only had 1 $10 minimum blackjack table and it was packed, forcing me to play higher limits. They should have 2-3 $10 min tables. I would definitely not recommend this cruise to anyone, especially for the cost. It felt like they would hype you up with excitement, and then rip it away from you with disappointment.Embarkation
