Review summary

We came all the way from Australia. Enjoyed the cruise very much. Will come back to do another Caribbean cruise one day. Would not stay in Miami again - over rated and over priced.

Embarkation

Easy and fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Ate mainly in MRD - food was very good so was the service. Few snacks from Park Cafe - quick and simple

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There was not much time to do activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The ice show and water show are the best we have seen on a ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiter where excellent. They got to know what we like and had it ready. Our room steward was great, we hardly ever saw him, but would leave him notes with request, like making our bed softer. Every thing was taken care of and our room was always prepared for us.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
We did not like having to walk through the smoking casino to get from the Dinning room to the Diamond lounge or Theatre.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

If you want to do the water slides, wait till everyone gets off at Cococay, then you have them all to your self. Also go early to your shows to get a decent seat. Take a jacket into the ice show. It gets cold in there.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Over expensive place

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Did a private tour through ShipMate. Had the best tour

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Did a ship tour to the Mayan ruins. A long drive but such an interesting place.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did a ship tour to the underground river. Such a great experience. So worth doing. You have a ferry trip at the beginning and end and that can be a bit rough. Take you seasick pills.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Over priced unless you just use the beach and pool.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
It was OK till we got outside and had to get transport. What a mess. No system, people everywhere trying to get taxis and Uber’s. Traffic jams so the taxis could not get through. Something needs to be done about the situation.
