Review summary

14th cruise since the restart. Great to see destinations returning to normal. Capacities seem to be back to normal.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Pier was overstaffed, quick, efficient check in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Same uneventful menus..food could be served at a better temperature. Presentation was good. Waitstaff professional for our table of 12. Main dining room for this class of ship is very tight, could be larger for the capacity.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Participated in trivia, not much else. Activities starting to get back to the old normal.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Same old song and dance. Guest singer very good. Music throughout ship good, but as usual too loud to carry on any kind of conversation.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was outstanding as usual and expected.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Not as old as some, but needs update and refit.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Had a jr. suite on 10th floor. Good space, nice bathroom and balcony. Constant noise from Windjammer above...they start setting up breakfast, and rolling carts around at 4am.

Ports of call

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Went to prison...yes, really!! Rented a car, drove to a local monkey nature preserve, saw howler monkeys on the wild. Went to Altun Ha mayan ruins. Drove to the Belize Federal Prison, and bought souveniers at the prison gift shop. Then on to Old Belize for a local snack.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. Off the ship, through customs and security, taxi to airport, through security at airport in less than 30 minutes.

Does the Ferry leave close to the cruise dock to go to Playa Del Carmen?
