Review summary

I would recommend this again however not as much on board for older kids. Just a pool and rock wall. Excursions were good for kids though.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Good but not over the top. Selections tended to wane and become repetitive over time. Scrambled eggs on the buffet tasted like they were from a powdered mix.

Izumi Japanese Cuisine

5 out of 5

We did a sushi making class with kids which was fun!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools and hot tubs were nice and plenty of chairs during most times. Entertainment director was terrific and poolside entertainment was well done and fun to watch. The music during poolside deck dance times was way too loud to enjoy.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Excellent entertainment crew in common areas. Nice mix of activities. The stage shows were a 3 on scale of 1-5. Kind of cheesy.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
My 10 year old doesn’t like any kids activities and would rather be in pool or excursions. Offerings don’t excite her.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Good but not outstanding

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Typical inside stateroom cabin except there was a large floor to ceiling pole in our room literally right in front of the door to the cabin. This was a bit cumbersome to maneuver.

Ship tip

Not many electrical outlets in room so plan accordingly

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida Did not visit port

We flew in the day of and didn’t plan to visit port

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

This was not an offering, we were in Key West which was great. Walked around shopping and visited Hemingway house.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We did dolphin and manatee excursion. Kids enjoyed both.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
We did beach day at a starfish beach place. Island was beautiful and drinks good. Loved the hammocks. Wish it was longer. The starfish part was misleading as it was literally a roped off area about 10 x 10 with starfish stuck in it.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Great water park for kids with multiple activities. Adult poolside massage was great. Kids loved the rides, zip lining, etc. port side shopping was a good variety and chocolate store was nice.

Disembarkation
