This was my second time on this comfortable ship. The Key was a great advantage, dedicated boarding/leaving and theatre seating. Highlights: Ice show, Piano entertainer, guitarist. Boarding anddisembarkation. Easy ship layout. Bars everywhere. Crew was very friendly and accommodating. Ship was clean and orderly. Sushi venue was great. Deck 4 outdoor promenade has vast seating to have peace and quiet. Fellow cruisers were cordial and not excessively loud. Flowrider stand-up session had some middle-aged experts and kids showing off impressive prowess. Our cabin appeared to be refreshed with newer carpet, sofa, and curtains. Mid-lights: Food was very middle-grade, that's to be expected at the price-point. Salmon was super-overcooked, we sent it back and the replacement was moist and tasty. Playmakers had decent bar food and $18 pitchers. Our balcony door had a loud wind-whistle; it didn't bother us too much but I lamented not packing duct tape. Balcony chairs are an awkward fixed semi-reclining design. Grease was good for what it is and the live orchestra enhanced it. Lowlights: Room service breakfast. Cold, institutional eggs, awful grits, raw pancakes, coffee pitcher spout was broken, made a mess. Pool deck crowding is a given on a full ship; we didn't even try the buffet. The magician 'headliner act" was cringe. We are middle-aged cruisers who always found ways to enjoy our days and nights. The ice skaters were olympic-quality, and they had open skating for most of day two and it was fun to partake.
Excellent! The food was amazing. We had dinner in the main dinning room. Our waiter was amazing! Breakfast buffet was excellent too! So many choices. Plenty to do on the trip. The shows were amazing! The views were amazing! Ship was super clean! Stayed in a balcony room. Very clean. I cant believe how easy it was to get on and off the ship. Everything moved so smoothly. This was my first cruise. I haven't stopped thinking about it. The shops were nice. I liked cococay. Beautiful Island. Great place to relax or try some fun activities. Cozumel clear waters are so beautiful. When you arrive there are alot of cool shops. I'd recommend a tour or some excursions. There was plenty to do on the ship. The last day at sea, there was a show in the main area. Everyone was dancing and singing. It was so much fun.
