Review summary

I would recommend this cruise to anyone local who wants a quick get away. We enjoyed just getting out of town and the weather was great. The captain was really nice and he and the team seemed to be a very good group in terms of morale and energy.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was easy and very organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I think the food was adequate but not exceptional. I think that there weren't enough spicy things to order in the main dining room and that the desserts although they looked great were often a disappointment. In the buffets, the salad bar had HUGE pieces of lettuce which was very obnoxious. We went to the Italian place on Thanksgiving it was very good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Most liked the pool but was surprised at how small it was compared to all the TV advertisements. The fitness center was okay but suggest having something to put water in or bottles.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Went to the revue, it was well done.

Masquerade Theater

4 out of 5

Lovely theatre and comfortable seating.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff was very nice in the Dining room especially Mihos (sp) from Romania. The bartenders were all nice the the same drink was prepared differently at multiple bars and charged differently.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It felt small, but it was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
We got whatever was available and it was a bit small for me. My husband is 6'6" and had some trouble fitting into the bathroom and bed.

Ship tip

Stay on board when they have short excursions and you get the pool to yourself.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Nothing special. Just walked around.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
A little disorganized at the onset but it was better when we were cleared.
