Review summary

Overall it is a good 5 night trip. I guess I am just spoiled with newer ships. Still the food was a huge disappointment. Guest services was AWESOME!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great- except of course for standing in line but not too bad.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Honestly, I was so disappointed with the taste of the food in the main dining room. The service was very good. Coffee was horrid!! I could not wait to get home to a real cup of coffee. Chops was great though. The Chef's Table dinner was not really worth the cost. It was okay and I got some decent glasses of wine with each course. I have had better but it was fun.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I did not use any of the activities except the track and it was always wet as they cleaned early in the morning.

Casino Royale

4 out of 5

This is the only ship I have actually won on the slots and saw many people win big on

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I only went to one of the shows and it was pretty good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I encountered one staff member that was rude. One out of 30-50 staff and maybe he was seasick.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All good

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Bed was so not comfortable- The balcony door creaked and groaned at night making it difficult to sleep. Cabin was kept clean but it is an older ship and needs some work. The paint on the outside of the ship was flaking off in sheets onto the balcony chairs and table. The wood rails really need some new sealant too. Overall just needs some routine maintenance.

Ship tip

Have fun- go to the events that are provided they are fun to watch.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Very Touristy

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Touristy but not as bad if you go into the old town.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Great- except of course for standing in line but not too bad. We carried our luggage out ourselves which is what everybody in Galveston does unless they came from somewhere besides Texas.
