Embarkation was smooth. No problems. Instead of leaving at 4:00, we did not set sail until 6:00. To make up the lost time, they had to sail pretty fast, which made for a little more sway on the ship. Our stateroom was adequate and clean. Our room was made up twice a day. Beware, though, that if you book a room on the Riviera deck, you will get no sleep. We were on the Riviera deck, mid ship. I still do not know where all the noise was coming from, but it sounded like chains being pulled left and right, clanking noises, etc. I complained twice but to no avail. So think twice before booking a room on the very bottom deck. I guess all the noise was coming from underneath us. The food was fine. The Panorama is buffet style with something different every day. I enjoyed the jerk chicken. They had fresh fruits and salads every day.

Dinner was really my favorite experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal every night. Our server was the same person every night and she was awesome. They really go out of their way to make it an enjoyable experience.

Arrived in Progreso. We did the dune buggy beach break excursion (XCambo ruins and Reef Beach Club Resort). Don't waste your money. It was definitely not worth the $99 per person we paid. You would be better off just staying on the Corona Beach at end of pier.

Cabin Review

Interior Upper/Lower

Rooms were clean. Plenty of closet and luggage space. Very noisy on Riviera deck, which is the very bottom deck (still not sure where all the clanking and banging noises were coming from). People in halls at all hours of night and you can hear everything they say if they are walking down hall. Shower area was adequate and water was plenty hot! Bring some earplugs or a noise machine. Wish I would have done that. But overall, I was pleased with the room itself. They make up the room twice a day.
