Review summary

Overall a nice cruise. But now i know i prefer the eastern and southern Caribbean

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation was a little slower than usual. I think it was because of water pipe bursting the cruise prior. I would say we got on the ship in 30 min

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

International Café

4 out of 5

A lot of people buy their coffee at the cafe, expect long lines. However if you are getting other than coffee it is not much of a wait as you are not paying. The little breakfast burritos and the yogurts are good for on the go. And the monkey bread..yum

Gelato

5 out of 5

Because i had the Princess Premiere pkg i could have the premium desserts. However the premium desserts only consisted of a very fancy gelato, cookies, and fudge and candies added. Too much sweet even for me so i opted to have crumbled cookies , gelato nuts and shredded chocolate. This was delightful and i had it everyday cause there was no charge. I recommend going prior to evening it seemed everyone love the gelato and some flavors disappeared quickly

Crown Grill & Bar

5 out of 5

The food was just as nice as i remembered it to be. I-had the rack of lamb.

Sabatini's Italian Trattoria

5 out of 5

This was my first time at Sabatini’s and my the 5 course meal was superb. A big shout out to the mushroom risotto

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Fitness center met the need, you are able to do a full body work out. TRX is what i really wanted to do but it was to early for me. I am not up at 7am😴 Of course the Thermal suite is wonderful. I like the hot hot steam and the hydrotherapy pool. I also recommend the seaweed wrap and massage as well as the Thai massage. Using the poultice The Piazza always seem to be having fun things going on through out the day. I did not attend because i love lazing around but i watched occasionally. Not a big pool person, so I cannot comment

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Wow this is the fastest ever after 80 some cruises. Was in the outside seating of the Crown grill at 7:15, for about 2 minutes and our group was called and down the gangway, picked up luggage, facial recognition and out the door at 7:35!

@Minara Even if you did not visit a port (Costa maya) your comments should display. I'll open a ticket to look into this. Please email hello@cruiseline.com so we can look into the issue. Thanks!

Hey guys, do they regularly knock out your comments in a review if it is not starred? We did not go to costa maya, hence no review..winds to high. And we missed much if Cozumel as the tour operator made a mistake and out us in for the following week. I really wanted all of my comments mentioned😊
