Review summary

A good cruise overall. Serenade is an older ship but the crew does an excellent job with service and entertainment. Ports of call are okay with Cozumel being one of the stops and most cruisers have been there before. With four ships in port on the same day Costa Maya was overwhelmed. Food was okay in the main dining room and , of course, drinks are always good.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
The port of Tampa is small and evidently every passenger was told to arrive between noon and 12:30. We waited in line for 11/2 hours before boarding the ship.
