Review summary

This was a great vacation. I planned the trip and had a group of 14 people. We all really enjoyed ourselves. We did experience a lot of movement on the ship and I took motion sickness medicine for the first time. I will travel with Royal Caribbean again but I don’t think it would be on this ship. I enjoy a bigger ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was great. I arrived around 1:30pm and was able to walk right in. There were no lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food and drinks were good but I wish there were more food offerings and more places included for dining. I knew this was a smaller ship than what I have previously been on but I was looking for a little more. I did dine in the specialty restaurant Izumi and it was wonderful. After dining there, I think I will do at least one specialty restaurant each cruise.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I did a lot of trivia. That is one of my favorite things to do. I also went to karaoke. I didn’t perform but it was great to watch. I wasn’t a fan of the welcome aboard show or the comedian.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
I didn’t care for the shows. They didn’t grab my attention. I thought the comedian was not funny and was rude.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I thought the staff did an excellent job. My room steward always called me by name when he saw me.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I thought the only problem with the cabin was the bathroom room. I think the shower could have been a little bit bigger. My bed was so comfortable and the ocean view was magnificent

Ship tip

I always say come with an open mind and have fun.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
I like Galveston pier because I can do things before I embark on the ship. It’s also not far from places to eat or shops.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
I thought the pier was great. I just explored the area and did some shopping

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I always enjoy Cozumel. I visited Mr Sanchos beach club. This is a must each time I go. I got a massage that was so relaxing. The food and the drinks are excellent and I believe a great value. It’s $55/person and is all inclusive. It’s a must in my opinion. We go early so we feel that we get our money’s worth and then leave in time to do some shopping.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We disembarked early and it was very smooth. There were no lines.
