Review summary

Our party of 9 had a great time. It was the first cruise for 6 of us. The only thing I'd change is getting the early dinner.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth overall. Dropped my family and then parked in pier 14 covered. Check in, security, and the safety brief were fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We loved the food and service in the main dining room. We didn't try any specialty restaurants. Drinks were good, but not especially strong.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Fitness center is pretty good. It has modern, working equipment, but it gets crowded. Kids used the rock wall, flow rider, arcade, and teen center. 1 of the water slides was broken. The pools were usually crowded and had salt water in them. Bingo was moved to a smaller venue, which made it more difficult, but it was ok.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The musicians and the ice show were great. The comedian was ok.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My 13 year old daughter wanted to stay in the teen center and connect with other teens, so that was cool.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
They were all courteous and professional. A+

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Looks great all around inside and out!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For its size it was great. Lots of storage space. Glad we only had 3 people in it.

Ship tip

Book the early dinner to give yourself more opportunity to see shows. We tried My Time dining, but we didn't know we still had to make reservations and they were all 7:45 or later.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas Did not visit port

we live in Texas. It was just our start and end point.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Went to Playa Mia through Priceline. We enjoyed it. We paid for food a la carte but had transportation included.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
There was some confusion between what the app said and what the handout said that we received the night before as far as our group and staging area. I wish I knew ahead of time where to catch the shuttle to pier 14 as I was walking out of the terminal. We went to the wrong place and had to back track.
