Have been on several cruises including carnival, royal caribbean, celebrity, wind star etc. This cruise had average entertainment , the food quality not the selection was mediocre at best, the crew that cleaned our room and waiters that at least served us were down right awful. The attendant assigned to our room frequently knocked on our door in the most unusual times, only left one towel animal on our bed? and didn't seem to clean as well as other cruises I have taken. Bad timing I guess?

the aquarius lounge waiters were thoughtful and seem to try but were downright awful. seemed to stumble every night. We ate at Giovanni table and our Turkish waiter was very good. Chops was also good but over priced I thought. We ended up eating at the windjammer often to at least serve ourselves party of 6! We tried the aquarius diner for breakfast only once because it seemed they were very short staffed. Our food took over 1 hour.

Also one needs to know that Spa : Couples massage $300. actual hands on was 30 minutes if that. Finally no sports deck for basketball, volleyball, soccer, no golf ect. Not much except rock wall. Overall ship old and needs to be replaced by more modern style boats.

Port Reviews

Belize City

felt rushed and so many people that experience was poor. it takes 1-1.5 hours from port to site of tubing and back another 1-1.5 hours. actual time in water after 20-30 hike carrying your tube , 30-45 minute.

Roatan

lots of paperwork but eventually fun

Costa Maya

native tours exceptional just need to find them outside port.

Cozumel

diving with dolphin: outside dive shop within park loads of fun 5 minutes cab ride from port

Tampa

easy access to embark and disembark
