The ship and staff were awful. The food was gross.There is entertainment unless your a kid or a drunk, They catered way to much to partying. You had to wait in line behind all the drunks to even get a soda. The same bartender 2 times said "what" as i went up for a drink.

the ship was clean id say it jut had nothing fun to do. The shows were boring not enough variety once again if you wanted to go to a deck beach party and get drunk EVERYNIGHT then there was something to do. The servers were slow you couldnt understand them they acked dumb so they didnt have to help you. The internet cafe just took my money i couldnt get it to wrok they wouldnt do anything to make that right we talked to other people on the ship who got it for half the price we did but i think that was our awful travel agents doing.

Getting on the ship in LA was a breeze but the lady who checked us in didnt say anything the entire time didnt give us info of anything or pointers all the agents around luckily so i listened. Our room stewardess was awesome his name was ricardo. I wont be taking a crusie again everything about this ship ruined the idea for me! this was supposed to be out honeymoon but it was a big drunk fest until we got off the boat!

Cabin was pretty good for being a ship we always had what we needed which was good since we spent most our time on the ship!

Port Reviews

Costa Maya

the tour guides were so much fun! we made 2 salsas one guac and then learned salsa dancing my husband was injured so we watched. It was a great fun experience, They gave us free margaritas the only problem was that it says beach break but if you want to go back with the cruise line transportation you only get like 40 mins in the ocean which isnt a big deal because the city is pretty safe you can take your own taxi back if you want!

Belize City

BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hours spent on the beach and the one we booked provided lunch or theres a little restaurant there. you will take a tender ride there but it wasnt bad at all. My husband cut his foot pretty bad because he ventured out to far (his fault) but the staff there was helpful and pulled the coral out of his foot and bandaged his right up!

Cozumel

very pretty! safe and a lot to do around the pier we walked down the alley to a little Mexican place and had lunch it was great. The snorkeling on the other was supposed to be off a beach they took you to a sand bar with stairs and you had to snorkel or float it was pretty boring because ive snorkeled 95 times. My husband loved it he said it was beautiful but dont expect to be on a beach with this one!
