Review summary

This was a trip down memory lane for me. We saw other cultures, other landscapes, and most importantly had a relaxing time on the beautiful beaches and the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was easy and efficient. It really helps to arrive early though.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining room was very nice. Our servers were terrific and set out to exceed our wishes, and they did. Food was very good including my favorite Lobster Bisque.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We went to the pool but frequently is was crowded or closed. We did appreciate and use the pool and whirlpools in the Solarium. Other areas were not of interest to us.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Nothing really exciting but we did enjoy the afternoon movie Mama Mia Here We Go Again and the evening musical.

Children's Programs

No children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The main dining room servers Lyndon, Glenn, Matey, SaSa, Agnelo, and Ketut were terrific. They far exceeded our wishes. Our room steward met our needs but we seldom saw him. He always provide the things I asked for.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was always clean. It felt spacious in the way it was arranged.

Ship tip

Make dining reservations if you don't want to wait until 7:30 to dine in the evening.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

Loved the Aquarium.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Always my favorite place to visit in Florida. Enjoyed taking my son back to see all the places his father loved to frequent.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
The Bar Hop was wonderful. So nice to see parts of the Island that are less inhabited. Even got to hold an Iguana.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Disappointed that our original excursion was cancelled. The Manatee watch was okay but not a good replacement for the zoo and beach.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Loved the Aviary and watching the dolphin swim. Of course our afternoon at Krazy Lobster and swimming in the ocean was by far our highlight.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Swift and organized.
