Review summary

We went on this cruise to visit Mayan cultural sites and spend time with our family. The ship, however, was below our expectations. It really shows its age and is in need of an upgrade to compete with other cruise lines.

Embarkation

Very efficient and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Service in the main dining room for dinner was excellent. Our waiter Boris was efficient, friendly and accommodating in fulfilling our wishes. Breakfast in the dining room was another matter. Waiter was unfriendly and seemed over-worked. It took over an hour to get breakfast. A complaint registered with the head waiter got no response. Very disappointing.

Ship Quality

The ship shows its age. Worn surfaces everywhere. Decor reminded me of a cheap motel.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin decor was dated and showed wear. Climate control was not functioning and cabin was extremely cold. Drains in the shower were very sluggish.

Ship tip

Be prepared for some rough seas in the gulf.
