Review summary

Fun cruise - our first without kids along. Plenty of activities to keep folks busy, and if you just wanted to "kick back"…not a problem.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We mostly handled our own luggage, to expedite things, but there was an hour wait (with no seating) in Houston before the bus could take us to Galveston - bring snacks! once there, it seemed like we walked a lot, through various entry stations, so we were a bit tired & hungry when we got on board, but we made it!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was wonderful; so many choices, and generally very good service.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
It was nice to have Zumba available, but a little different than it is on land, when the ship is rocking a little…

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed shows, participated in Karaoke, and went dancing several nights! Highly recommend the band "Symphonee" - they're great, and very friendly!

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff were friendly, over-the-top helpful, but some seemed a bit overworked…

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Most areas seemed clean; Micca said it only takes about 8 days to figure out where everything is…;)

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice room, in the center, and not too high up; still, when the boat starts a rockin'…everybody feels it.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We got off the ship and onto our bus surprisingly smoothly, especially considering how many of us there were.

On the ship now, and can’t agree more about the band Symphonee! We’ve been following them around the ship.
