Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Very pleased with all food options!!! Would have appreciated making water more readily available.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Loved fitness center, dancing, mini golf, and solarium!!! Pools and hot tubs were small/crowded. Karen was a super dance instructor. Trivia was lame with no answer check or prizes. Karaoke needed more sign up time and oversight.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Jazz show was excellent! Production/ magician, and game show were lacking/awkward.

Children's Programs

No kids

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

Disappointed RC shortened our cruise to no ports but extended previous an extra day after they had 2 port stops already. Couldn't we have had time even to visit Coco Cay?

I was on this cruise. It went to Cozumel only. That was the itinerary when I booked it, and that's where we went.

Why no port stops? Was it weather related?

Did you tell the cruise lines it was your birthday? Need some clarification please.

I’m also confused, do you mean the cruise was delayed by a day? Or you just missed a port stop?
