We chose this cruise because of the destination, length of cruise and the great deal. We had rough seas and very high waves. We never made it to our second port of Costa Maya, therefore, we spent one day in Cozumel and 4 days of rocky seas and lots of sick people. Not the best cruise I have ever been on. The entertainment at the theater was great and the staff was wonderful. Never caught a glimpse of the captain. I guess he was too busy trying to get us safely home. Rooms were very small but manageable. We met nice people and had a good time regardless of the seas, however, I would not go on a small ship again. For now on, a ship with stabilizers only for us. The waiters were excellent and the service great in the dining room. Not crazy about the food. The chef is Jamaican and the food was a bit spicy.

Cabin Review

Cabin ocean view

Cabin was small. We had to be very careful walking because of the rocky seas. Things were creaking and banging through the whole trip. The room was stuffy and as I have emphysema, I coughed every time I was in the room. The bathrooms are too small. One has to soap up the wall and spin to get a shower. I would not recommend a room smaller than a junior suite on this ship. The balconies were of no use because of the weather, so I am glad we decided not to get one.
