Review summary

Who is nice cruise but we had a few days there in the beginning that was very rocky at sea. Rough waters and I have a small ship. That’s not too good. I guess I won’t travel in February play Cruise. Lol

Embarkation

5 out of 5
When we chose to pick a schedule from 12:00 to 12:30 to embark on the ship we were surprise. There was very few people in line in the process was quick, very impressed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Some people complained about the food but to each its own. It all depends what you’re looking for and the type of food you want. The was good especially from the garden café. The main dining room could of change its selection a bit seems like it was always the same not much to choose from from the first menu. Surprisingly not like other cruise ships on a certain day they would have lobster. This ship did not have that option.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
We didn’t do any activities performed what I seen. It was so-so nothing big going on there. The ship was small so there was really not a whole lot you can do out there. I mean they have their games in the theaters and some ice sculptures on the top pool deck but it was ok.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Music was OK. In my opinion it could’ve been over better. The DJ was not as good as expected. He just play some music from his computer and just kick back while the music played. Seems like they have different types of music for everyone so that was a good part, but I’ve been ships with better entertainment

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Must of the staff were pretty professional, and very helpful when they were some that could’ve been a little bit more people friendlier, but not everything’s Has to be perfect . You have to see for yourself to know what I’m talking about. I don’t like to point fingers but overall a good experience.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Even though the ship was small, it was maintained pretty clean. The crew did a good job at my state room. Attendant was really great. He did a good job. The room I have a small but was manageable and we dealt with it. We had large port whole window and the only complaint I had was the windows could’ve been cleaned a little bit better. a lot of streaks in the window.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabinet was clean, but manageable. It was a tight area and the shower was small, but we dealt with it.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
This was a great stop. I’ve been here before and what a difference more of the date. Nice little areas shop I was impressed with the rebuilding of that place I would visit again.

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Quit to get on the ship. Embarkation.

Panama Canal (Cruise Into Canal)

1 out of 5
Not impress didn’t take the tour, so I thought we were going to get able to get off earlier to explore what us it was like to sea day. They let the people with tours off the ship, so they can go on their tour and the rest of us stood on the ship until we pick them up in the Colon Panama stop. This was mess also the ship was delayed picking up the people that were on the tour. We were supposed to get off at 6 o’clock and I get off after 7:00 pm We were only there for hour and a half was not worth getting off the ship. It was already dark couldn’t really go anywhere . The only good thing about that is we saw how the canal works and it was pretty good.

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
It was OK. Short visit. Been there before.

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

4 out of 5
Was really nice port of call short but nice. Did a nice little tour on our own . Shopping was a little expensive out there but people are trying to make a living

Harvest Caye, Belize

4 out of 5
Nice island, but the pier was very long walk to get to the center of the island. We end up going on tender boats from the ship. I don’t know why they couldn’t park next to the other ship that was parked at the pier. Took a while to get off the boat, but we did it.

Cartagena, Colombia

4 out of 5
Port of calls nice wish we could’ve been a little longer. We had a nice tour guide that we took on our own. She was very helpful.

Colon, Panama

1 out of 5
Didn’t see much only have an hour it was already dark was not worth getting off ship

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Horrible that’s all I can say horrible!!! What a nightmare very unorganized for the minute, we picked up our luggage. It was horrible there is no other word for it. They need to come up with a better system how to move the people a little quicker than what is was. It seems like they sent you to get the luggage in a garage area which had no air conditioning and you sweated your ass off until you got out of the building.
