Review summary

I would go again now that I know more about what to do. Would book all excursions through the cruise so stress of getting on and off wasn’t there. Was very enjoyable

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy we parked and someone came and took our tagged bags and we got on the ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We dined in the main for late dinner. There was hardly anyone in the 5 th floor yet the assigned us to the first table which had no view when asked about the other empty tables by window we were told they were assigned yet no one ever sat in them. The my time dining had nicer tables and chairs and better view. Food was good but not over the top like on the commercials you see guess you have to pay extra to get that

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We listened to the music and watched all the shows played bingo once. The casino smelled like smoke. A lot of the entertainment was on fourth floor where there was not enough seating so we couldn’t participate

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The comedy show was great the singer was great and the band and dancers were great

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room attendant Craig was great. We had newbies for dinner service but they did good very friendly and nice

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean but worn a bit. Also too many activities on fourth floor where there was limited seating so you couldn’t go

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I loved having an inside cabin no light in the am :). Although it is right next to where all the activities are so you could hear the music a bit until midnight so if that bothers you. But it wasn’t loud so not bad for us.

Ship tip

This ship was great for people who don’t want a ton of people around that doesn’t mind not a big production at shows I enjoyed it it was very relaxing mostly older adults

5 out of 5
Did an excursion from cruise line it was great but since it wasn’t from royal we had not a guarantee of first tender to make our excursion, and they would not wait if something happened and we didn’t make it back we did the zip line and tubing it was wonderful

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Beautiful port with activities right there a pool and dolphin adventures. We watched the dolphins sat at the pool bar and had chips and salsa which you cannot get on the ship

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Couldn’t get the app to let me choose so had to haul own luggage but with that being said we were on the floor to disembark so it was easy. Bit early
