Embarkation was easy, once you checked in on the app getting through the terminal was a breeze. Once onboard you went to your mustard station to check in, and that was quick and painless. The ship is smaller and does lack all the bells and whistles of the newer ships but those who still like the small ship feel this class is still great. The only issue was very slow service at bars and in the restaurant but it is tough to get the crew to come back to work right now. We stopped at Costa Maya and Cozumel which were okay, I know we booked the cruise because it worked into our schedule but I would. not recommend booking a cruise with those two ports being the only two stops. Unless you book a tour with the cruise line they are just tourist traps like most cruise destinations at this point.
