Ship experiences

Foid and service was great

Chop's Grille

5 out of 5

We went there on our anniversary and the food is amazing. You could have cut the steak with just your fork.

Onboard Activities

Small ship.

Concierge Club

5 out of 5

Alan, our Concierge was great. Loved spending time in the lounge. Quiet. We had breakfast there every morning.

Diamond Club

5 out of 5

This was our first time being diamond and really enjoyed it. Kumar, the diamond Concierge was so nice. He always made it a point to come over and sit with everyone.

Casino Royale

1 out of 5

Small which is to be expected but the smoking was so bad couldn’t even enjoy. The non-smoking section isn’t that big so it didn’t help. Lots of penny and nickel slots. Had a hard time in finding quarter slots. Didn’t gamble at all.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Entertainment was fair.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
This was one of the best ones that we have taken due to the excellent service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love the smaller ships but there were some areas that need to be updated.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was our first time is a suite and loved it. Very roomy, great bathtub and shower. Balcony was hugh.

Ship tip

If you can afford it book a suite.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5
Tampa is a nice city.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Beautiful! Went on an excursion to the Hemingway House and Sloppy Joes. Much cheaper if you do it yourself. Over priced.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Well organized for a taxi. We went to a resort that wasn’t an excursion.

Belize City, Belize Did not visit port

The water was rough and it would have been very rocky tendering into the Port. There really isn’t a lot if shops there.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

Very disappointed. The water was to rough for us to dock.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and smooth. One of the benefits when staying in a suite.
