Review summary

I would definitely cruise with RC and on this ship again. I’m actually shopping for a ship with water slides.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Overall very easy and smooth. The personnel guided perfectly. I’m giving one less star because my luggage was separated and I didn’t think one of my bags made it onto the ship. It turned up before sailing to my stateroom ok.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was excellent. I loved that the portion sizes were small enough to be eaten in one sitting.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
It was crazy fun walking on a treadmill watching the ocean and rocking on a ship!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I joined some of the dancing and my only complaint is they made the choreography much too complicated. I grew up in the 70s and I hated what they did to the Hustle. It was better suited for professional dancers. The staff was the best entertainment I’d seen in years.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I need more than 5 stars to describe how wonderful the support staff is. My porter had the equipment for my CPAP ready for me. I got towel animals! The waitstaff was awesome.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Overall the ship’s design and cleanliness were outstanding. Having tons of hand sanitizer was great. I’m only giving 3 stars because it was impossible to know which elevator was arriving. I have knee problems and depend on elevators. I completely missed an empty car when no one was around and had to wait.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I’m glad I traveled alone. I can’t imagine putting 2 people in the cabin. Overall it was clean and a great way to spend a week. The shower had much better water pressure than I expected. The closest was very spacious and there were tons of places to put things. The cabin steward did a great job of cleaning. It was pretty quiet. I slept better on the ship thanks to the rocking than I do at home.

Ship tip

Enjoy the beautiful surroundings

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

I stayed on the ship so I wouldn’t spend more money. I’m weak and the salesman are strong.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Overall very smooth. I’m giving 3 stars because I purchased the Key and it wasn’t clearly marked enough.
