It was a much smaller ship than others in the fleet, and probably slightly less luxurious. But service by staff met and exceeded our expectations. We were unfortunately met by bad weather at seas which made more than half the guests and many staff sick, but admirably, staff members continued to work without complaining. This also led to an emergency change in cruise itinerary since it was unsafe to dock in costa maya. An extra day on the rough seas did not go down well with my already sick stomach. The staff made temendous efforts to compensate with fun on-board activities for those who were well enough to participate. The dining experience as always, was outstanding, as was the evening and daily entertainment activities. We signed up for a behind the scenes tour of the ship which was quite interesting and I would recommend to others.

While this has certainly not been my best cruise experience yet, I would certainly continue to cruise for years to come (although I would probably wait a while until my queasy stomach calms down a bit...)
