Review summary

While the ship wasn't earth shattering exciting, it was nice enough. Entertainment was generally pretty good, and the events like Quest and Battle of the sexes where a riot!!! I'd do it again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Terminal #6 at Tampa. Fast and easy. 20 minutes from curbside to boarding.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

MDR 3 nights, generally pretty good. Breakfast, and lunch in Windjammer each day and dinner 4 nights. Selection was fair, temperature and freshness somewhat spotty.

Entertainment

Overall, very good. Ventriloquist act and one comedian great. One comedian not so great.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Merville, room steward was great. Bars were understaffed, but kept it going. Friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Older ship, shows her age. Tables poolside were wobbly. Paint fumes by the pool were rough.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Small side, comfortable enough, but a tad cramped. Storage was lacking a bit

Ship tip

Great itineraries, convenient port, but she doesn't have all the features of newer ships.

Ports of call

Belize City, Belize

Butts up cave tubing with Cave-tubing.com was awesome!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Wasn't expecting much, very pleasant surprise. Go to Mahahual! Beautiful beach. Massage should run about 20$ for an hour. Krazy Lobster had great food at reasonable prices.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Definitely worth a visit. Went downtown for some shopping and a bite. Pushy vendors.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Daniel Johnson sloth and monkey hangout with island tour was awesome! Got some shopping time at West end village. Again with persistent peddlers.
