Review summary

Overall, we had a beautiful vacation. We were sad to come back home. Comfortable, wonderful room, great staff, and amazing sights.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was the easiest experience I’ve ever had on a cruise. I don’t know if it’s the cruise line or changes made in the industry since the pandemic, but it was so easy, quick and painless!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Overall, the food was pretty good. I wish there was more variety or changing menu for what could be ordered to the staterooms, but all dining staff were so wonderful and the halls/specialty dining were great.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We caught three shows while there. Unfortunately, we didn’t think the comedian was very funny, so left early. One variety show was just OK, but the other one we caught was a nice tribute to swing and blues that we really enjoyed. We also didn’t enjoy the late night DJ. Seemed like he cut short the themed music nights (I.e. disco and 80s) and moved straight into “newer” music, always starting with line dance songs when everyone was so enjoying the older hits and dancing away, it was disappointing and killed the vibe for us.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Absolutely everyone was so personable and provided high quality service. Raquel and Leo in our dining hall were wonderful, and our room attendants went above and beyond.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We felt like royalty. The bed was comfortable, we slept well every night! We enjoyed having our balcony doors open most of the time and sitting outside with beautiful views.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
The port itself was kind of ugly, but the town has some fun things to do and cool shops to visit.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Clean, well-maintained. We did an excursion to the Mayan ruins and had a good time; easy to get there and back, good guide.

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
Also a pretty and vibrant port. I was the river cruise we did was a little more jungle and a little less alongside the highway, but the guides were great and we saw some beautiful animals.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
100% the most beautiful of all our visits. So green and pretty. All the people were nice and welcoming and we enjoyed our relaxing excursion at the animal sanctuary/private island

Disembarkation
