Our cruise was great! Only downer was we went during spring break and there happened to be a senior trip on board too. Which is fine but, there were a lot of drunk 18 year olds that were not fun to dance near during the theme nights. I wish there were more activities that target 30 year olds. There were a lot of activities but we never seemed to find anyone around our age range. Also, we went on the Dunn river falls with bamboo beach club excursion. It was a lot of fun except it just felt PACKED at the falls and very very rushed. We kept getting told to keep moving so we didn’t get an opportunity to really take any nice photos in front of the falls together. The service was outstanding and ship was always super clean and easy to navigate. At one point my Apple Watch fell out of my beach bag on the ship. It took the security team only a day and a half to track it down. They made me super happy and I was impressed how on top of it they were. I was happy to end the trip on a happy note! The shows were ALL super amazing. Our favorite being Brat Pack and Company Men. The pool was nice to have the ledge to sit on. Drinks were pricey- only regret was not getting the drink package. The library was one of our favorite spots! I had a allergic reaction to my sunscreen and couldn’t go in the sun so it was fun to be able to play card and board games and meet others. The books in there all looked brand new too! Everywhere we ate the food was exceptional! Our favorite was garden cafe of course and Food Republic. Ronin (washy washy guy) always made us smile and laugh as well as our room steward Chotbal was amazing! Working in the hospitality industry too I was quite impressed with all the environmentally friendly features they had onboard too. Like the electricity turns off in the room when you leave, the rooms don’t have trash bags, the stewards use paper bags to dispose trash, you need a key card to turn on the lights and outlets in the room, you have the option to reuse towels, and they don’t use plastic travel size bottles for shower things. They actually have soap dispensers in the shower which was really cool. Overall the cruise was fantastic. We hope to go again soon!

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BD

Lots of storage space for being a small cabin. Perfect for our stay. Bed was super comfy and love the Black out curtains. The balcony was nice to watch the sunrise/sunset on. It would’ve been nice to have a long lounge chair to lay out on though. I know that comes with the bigger rooms though. Only wish we had a bigger fridge to store our leftover food in.

Port Reviews

Costa Maya

Very very hot, over priced, and crowded. They tried to sell us a coffee mug for $35!

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Had fun wandering the streets. Everyone was super nice and the tender onto the island was enjoyable.

Nassau

Had lots of venders in our face trying to sell us taxi rides or items. Made it overwhelming. Asked someone where a public restroom was and was literally ignored.
