Review summary

We had a 4 night round-trip from Tampa to Cozumel and back home. Outstanding food, variable drinks, but an overall fun and relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed the dining options at both the buffet and Main dining room. The only negative is the size of the pools, both of which are too small for the amount of people on the Cruise- they are always packed to the point of immobility.

If pools are important try longer cruises. Cruise ship pools are for kids and exercise swimmers. They are basicly for atmosphere to lounge around. There's not enough pool space to accommodate the number of passengers.
