Review summary

This particular cruise is geared toward people who gamble and like to drink a lot. It is not relaxing, There is no where to go for a quiet drink. It reminds me of a Carnival party cruise. 3 days at sea stuck with old people doing quiz show type of stuff. 3 ports that are exactly the same. I do not recommend this cruise

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining room was good. Windjammer was good. Chops was a disappointment. The best part of the Food & Drink was the service.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Very small ship with little to do. 3 days at sea on this ship is too much. The pools were cramped with a lot of drunks. Very small fitness center that was too busy. The only thing they had to keep people busy was trivia contests every few hours where they gave away plastic pens if you won.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The juggler was great. The magic show was horrible. I think they told a crew member an hour before the show to go out perform tricks that failed.

Children's Programs

no kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Best part of the cruise was the attention of the staff. Our dining room staff was great and the bartenders new your name and drink after the first day.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Again, small older ship. Probably why they had it on this type of cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Please do not get a room near the Centrum. They play music late into the night and you hear everything from bad karaoke to rock bands. You hear every crowd noise and anyone who is on the mic.

Ship tip

There is no place to have a quiet drink. They have a wonderful bar called the Viking Crown lounge but it is off limits until 8pm unless you are a Diamond level

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Best part of the cruise. Get to New Orleans early and enjoy a few days touring magazine street, the garden district and downtown because all the other ports suck.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
We did do the Atlantis submarine excursion and it was great. The port itself is like every Mexican port. A bunch of people trying to sell you trinkets

Trujillo, Honduras

1 out of 5
Not that safe. They lead you to your excursions in old school buses. People and children aggressively trying to sell you things. Nothing to do if you just walk off the ship.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5
Same as Cozumel. Trinkets, Trinkets and more Trinkets

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
quick and easy
