Did a short 5 night cruise to work around kids spring break and a wedding. Loved RC before so figured we would try them again. Ship is the smallest of the fleet which had some good/bad points. Good: things were busy but never crazy crowded. Never a long line at the buffet, no problem getting seats for shows/trivia/belly flop contest, always a quick walk anywhere. Bad: food selection wasn't the greatest at dinner, pool and hot tubs still crowded, a lot of events (dance lessons, etc) going on in small centrum area instead of nightclub area. But overall the ship and trip was great. Traveled with family (2 teen daughters) who hung out with us. They loved the shows (dancing, comedian, juggler (no really..this guy was very good and funny, and a great singer (dude looked like Keifer Sutherland from Lost Boys but sang everything from Journey, Neil Diamond, Frankie Vali to opera- excellent showman!!). Cruise director (Hugo) and his staff rocked the place. Always funny and kept everyone laughing..maybe the best part of trip. Kids still using his phrases at home (are you ready??/ Yes or Yes?) Costa Maya port was a pleasant surprise. Go into town..don't get stuck at port which is very temping to hang there. Went to Tropicante -look on-line and talk to owner Steve Food, beach chairs and magaritas. Cabin was really small for 4 people (deck 4)..tough moving around for sure. Only real complaint is kids take over pool and hot tubs. Pools I get but there are supposed to be set times for kids in hot tubs and no crew enforces rules. Waiters and staff were very good for sit down dinners. Don't drink a lot but noticed not many bars around pool area.
Highly recommend!
We were on Deck 4 but don't remember cabin #. 4 people, 2 overhead beds for kids. Very tight and not alot of space to put things. No balconies available so settled for port window. Kept very clean so good housekeeping staff but very very tight for 4 people.
Hit the Tropicante in Mahahaul beach area. Check site on-line..email Steve. he'll set you up.
Hit the beach for the day. STayed at Holiday Inn Oceanside
