Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The ship's main dinning room was chaotic; the first night we had to wait for almost an hour to even order our dinner. The second night in the dinning room we did not have to wait as long, however; it was clear that customers outnumbered the staff and their ability to cover all the tables in a timely manner. The Windjammer restaurant was much better and we ate the rest of meals there. There was one night when the food had no taste and looked unappetizing; the rest of meals were great, plenty of excellent food and great service.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Terry, our room steward was the best, very attentive and considerate. The casino personnel and the customer service reps were also wonderful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ships layout was easy to navigate and the common areas were clean with the exception of some of the bathrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We do not spend a lot of time in our cabin and the shower is very small. It was also very clean and comfortable.

Ship tip

Remember that it is an older ship and you will be fine; also choose the option of reservations for the main dinning room.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida Did not visit port

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

We did self tours only, people are friendly but you need to get away from the port to really enjoy it. I would recommend taking excursions to get a better feel for the area.

Belize City, Belize
