My husband and I book this cruise on the Sunday prior to the departure, so it was a very last minute thing. The price was too good to pass up. We did the 5 day on the Ecstasy last year and it was awesome. We were a little let down with this cruise, but still had a great time. We made it to Houston around 10:30 and were on the ship by 12:30. We had lunch then went to take a nap. We were late leaving Houston, I am not sure why. Someone told us engine problems, but we never heard anything for sure. They announced Friday morning that we would be going to Progresso instead of Cozumel due to the late departure from Houston. They said they wanted to make sure that we had a full day in port. That was fine with us. We have been to both places last year and enjoyed both. That evening we got a letter under our door that stated that there was a large group on board that were having a wedding in Cozumel, so we would go to Cozumel arriving at 12:30. Well, we traveled through some heavy rain and were finally off the ship at 2:30 and had to be back on board at 6:30. This would also cause us to be late back to Houston on Monday. That did not leave a lot of time to do much but that was OK. I was really surprised that they opted to go to Cozumel for the benefit of one particular party, but we really didn't care. We just walked around in the shops near the port and returned to the ship early. The thing that disappointed us was the room service. Last year it was great. This time every time we ordered it took 1 hour to 1 hour and 45 minutes to get our order. My husband ordered cheese cake and the whipped cream was literally melted. His shrimp sandwich tasted spoiled as well. On the last day of the cruise, we waited so long for our breakfast that we finally gave up and just went to the lido deck for breakfast. We really enjoyed the breakfast up there even more than in the dining room. I was also a little disappointed in the menu changes, but I am sure they are trying to keep it interesting for those who cruise often. Last year we had a suite and I wondered if that is why we had better service. I am not sure. I would still recommend this cruise. I just hope they get back to Galveston soon. It is an easier drive in my opinion. Another thing that I forgot is that the entertainers were much better this cruise. We really enjoyed the shows. Steve Cassell was incredible on the fiddle! We also met some really nice ladies working in the jewelry store. They were very helpful and shared a lot of interesting information about the countries they are from. We made it back to Houston about 12:30 PM. We were on our way home by about 3:00. Over all it was a nice, relaxing trip. However, if I had paid what I paid for last year's cruise, I would be disappointed.
