Ecstasy Cruise Review
Western Caribbean
This was my first cruise. It was great. There is not one
complaint I can come up with. We parked at EZ cruise parking, they were very
helpful in loading our bags and bringing us to the ship. Parking was only $35.00
for five days.
We got right on the ship at 11:00 no waiting. We at lunch and went to our room,
our bags were waiting for us when we got there. Our ocean view room with a
window was great, there was plenty of room for two. Our cabin boy Henery was
wonderful. There was so much to do, we tried hard to get everything in.
The food was great, and being a manager over food I noticed a lot. They kept
everything clean and were always cleaning, the food dept. and the grills were
cleaned every nigh. My husband noticed the ship deck and rails and stairs were
always being wiped down. He is a Captain on a tugboat so he was pleased to see
this. The stops were alright, Cozumel was high priced. I would recommend going
on tours not just shopping. Progresso had better shopping but it was a long way
into town.
We are already looking into another cruise to bring the whole family. They kept
the kids really busy and happy. Our waiter Roy was great and I enjoyed trying
different food. We ate all the way to Mexico & back It was great. Our sail was
very smooth I did not take anything for seasickness and did not get sick. I
could feel every once in awhile a turn but for the most part it was great. They
take pictures all the time, and they were great, an 8 by 10 is $19.99 I wanted
to buy them all but I didn't. They took about 60 in all. Drinks were high priced
so bring your own. It's the only way to take a vacation. Please email me if you
have any questions. We also did not take our own luggage off and we were off
before most that did. It looked like a mess and a long line with about an hour
or two wait.
