Review summary

Overall an amazing trip. I highly recommend well Caribbean. Everything about it was exceptional.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was the best cruise yet. So much fun, Enjoyment, relaxation all in one trip. But the best part of the trip was the service during the dinner evening with Milos and Maricel aboard the Rhapsody. They were by far the best from any cruise we have been on. The entertainment was great as well with the exception of the country show. Like I said this was by far the best part of our trip.

Saw some great comedians and shows and this venue not a bad seat in the house

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Like I said the dining room was so over-the-top exceptional service. Our cabin steward was good but he didn’t really engage too much, he did do the amazing towel animals though and we really like that

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All the areas were kept very neat and clean. For an older ship it was very well-maintained. However the furniture in the center room could use a little TLC.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was comfortable. It did get a little difficult with three people changing and getting ready in one room.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5
Not my favorite port but it was well organized

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Loved everything about it. Especially the tour train we took with Kenny as the tour train driver.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel was amazing. They had best salsa and margaritas. The salsa and margaritas we got while we stopped on a side road stand the people were so nice and so engaging. We traveled after this to see the Mayan ruins and that tour guy was very courteous and friendly as well and very informative.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
At this port we took a city bus tour that ended dropping us off at a private beach. Although I did get a little sunburned I can claim that I climbed a 90 foot slide and did it, not bad for 50 something-year-old

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Great stop it as well. Although we didn’t do an excursion this time we stayed in the main part I had a drink that he could even tell you what was in it but was way good my husband and son had a margarita and even ate a bug or two. They also talked me into doing it which wasn’t horrible. Apparently it’s one of their delicacies.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Only bad part of the trip was having to leave. Disembarking was a little chaotic. Had to wait for the shuttle back to the hotel for quite a while.
