Review summary

It was nice to be away from the cold weather of our home. We’ve cruised other cruise lines before and based on this experience, would choose them or try another before we cruised with Norwegian again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Worst food I’ve ever had on a cruise. Setup of the buffets was poor and crowded. Even the staff could be overheard commenting On the gross food.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
It was a very small ship and the facilities were old and didn’t seem very well kept.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The comedian was decent but overall, not a lot of variety to choose from day in and day out.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Our room steward was very nice but my goodness were the wait staff rude. They seemed to hate their lives and the buffet workers were terribly rude and as I mentioned before, made comments about the food which made it even more unappetizing than it was.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The ship was small and you could definitely tell that it was old. Windows were filthy, public bathrooms facilities were nauseating, and our cabin bathroom definitely had seen better days.

Cabin / Stateroom

The pillows were awful but everything else was fine. The bathroom had seen better days - the mirror had big black marks at the bottoms, the floor and vanity had cracks and chunks missing as well as stains.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

1 out of 5
This was an awful tourist trap. We got off the boat walked around briefly but couldn’t take it anymore so found lounge chairs the boat to relax in.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
This was better than costa maya. We were able to find a beach to relax on after a $12 can ride.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did self assist and it went quickly
