Review summary

This cruise was a fun one. I went with a group of women for a women's retreat cruise and had a blast. I would easily sail on this ship again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was great. I was in and out, with no waiting in line. It took about 20 minutes from my arrival at port to when I walked on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was great and I have no complaints. Only complaint is with soda. There is no freestyle so you have to rely on the bars. Half don't have fountain diet coke so had to use 2 liters and most were flat.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Good variety of things to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Enjoyed the shows I went to. Theater was a bit outdated but the shows were nice.

Children's Programs

I have no children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff were amazing. My room steward was top notch and so were out waiters each night in the MDR. We were a large group, with multiple tables, and they did fab!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

For an older ship it wasn't too bad. Some wear and tear but no real complaints.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great oceanview room. I was solo and room was plenty big. Could easily have 2 in here for no problem. Nice view of the outside, with no obstruction.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5

Simple arrival and departure.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Had fun here. The port has a nice shopping area with stores and restaurants so plenty to do without actually heading into the town. We did a tour around the area as well and had a blast.
