Review summary

This was a wonderful cruise. The ship is small but its fabulous staff makes up for all it lacks in size. Even though the ship is older, it doesn't seem warn. The crew keeps it very clean and nice. We enjoyed our cruise very much and would sail on the ship again in a heartbeat!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
This ship is pretty small and I was very concerned about that. What the ship lacks in size, it makes up for in the enthusiasm of the crew! The Windjammer, while often jammed, was clean and efficient. The waitstaff was fabulous....the best we have ever seen on a ship! They brought around drinks, cookies, and even ice cream as we say enjoying the view! Well done, Windjammer staff!!!

Entertainment

This ship has the best production numbers that we have enjoyed on a ship! There were 3 production shows and we enjoyed each one very much. The stage is small but they made great use of every inch!

Ship Quality

This is an older ship so it did lack a little but it was clean and nice. It was very easy to get around. I ended up enjoying the size!

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was small. We usually get a balcony room and this was a small ocean view on deck 2. I wouldn't chose that deck again as it is noisy on the morning of port days as they get the ship ready for people to get out from the ship. One morning we had Dock muscians playing right outside our window! That might have been a nice concert but they pretty much played the same song over and overπŸ™ƒ Even though the room was small it turned out fine except....I really missed having shelves in the closet! There was plenty of hanging space but no shelves.

We did a wonderful tour with Capt. Marvin to Stingray City and a snorkeling stop. Loved the smaller size of the boat and getting more personal attention. This is the second time we have done this tour with this company....both were wonderful!

We had a great tour with Jenny and Epic Mayan Tours. We went to the wrong terminal and she somehow managed to find us in spite of it! Several other tour people did some calling to make it happen. I have wonder feelings about the people of Belieze.
