Great ventriloquist act one night! Comedians very good, edgy. Dancers very good. Stage, Centrum, pool deck, & piano bar all very good. DJs kept us hopping.

Children's Programs

No kids with us. Less than 10 on board due r/t school age.

Service and Staff

A+. Couldn’t have been friendlier or more professional. Enjoyed the more than 200+ different cultures.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Older & smaller. Loved it! Clean. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Common areas always picked up. Nice design as is smaller & easy to get around. No water park or slides, etc. ...perfect for a more adult cruise. Does have an adult only Solarium with a pool.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Midship, smaller, & inside. Perfectly clean. Beds comfy. Lots of storage. Bathroom was fine.

Ship tip

Tip a little more to all of your service staff.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5
Embarkation. Close to pay to park lots. Lots to do if you stay in town.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Fav place. Sellers are a bit relentless, detract from shopping. 3+ Miles to downtown but lots to see dockside.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Security and a wall to keep us in? Sellers friendly but relentless. No real flavor of B if you don’t get out. Armed guard on city tour was both reassuring and a bit disturbing. The tender boat to the ship is a huge improvement from the ‘90s.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Nice dockside sellers. Can get out on an excursion but we didn’t.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Over the top area wharfside. Nice shopping but many sellers very difficult ...wanted to run to get away. Did enjoy the Los Voladores exhibition, WOW! Would like to see a minibus offering to the town and back.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very good, very crowded if you carry your own bags. Move some furniture in Centrum to widen paths, avoid elevators. Staff very helpful and patient.
