Harvest Caye, Belize

Beautiful beach and pool. This is a great place to swim and enjoy the water!

Cozumel, Mexico

Poor tour guide and not worth the money for Island Discovery and Chocolate tour.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Beach House scape was a bust. Locals constantly on us to but useless trinkets. Beach was filled with seaweed making it impossible to go into the water!

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Excellent tour of Brewery. The owner of the Brewery gave us an extensive tour of his beer making process with drink tasting paired with sausage and snacks. Well worth the money!

Norwegian Jade

Sail on a better cruise line! This ship is old. With little free entertainment, poor stage shows, bring lots of extra money for game shows that they charge you to play, very poor, disinterested staff and no real Guest Services. There are much better cruise lines. Don’t waste your money here.

Kotor, Montenegro

This was the worst of all the tours! First, I stopped at Guest Services to inquire about the caution on this tour for “Motion Sickness”. Your staff told me that it was just because the trip involved going high up a mountain grade and that most people don’t get sick. Well, let me tell you that you should provide a MUCH stronger warning. The bus trip was very long to the first stop and the “switchbacks” were often harrowing with the bus actually extending over the curve with significant drops. The path up the mountain was harrowing but it was even worse going downhill as many parts of the road were being repaired and were basically stone and gravel with more harrowing turns without paved roads to provide traction. Also, we had two brief stops. The first was a 20-minute stop which allowed us to take a necessary bathroom break but no time to even look around. The second stop was only 45 minutes and by the time we got into the town, we only had about 25 minutes and that was to include lunch which we never got because our order never came out! WE paid for a long, harrowing bus ride and nothing else. This was a 100% total waste of time!

Ravenna, Italy

The country is beautiful but again the tour portion was minimal. We had a long drive to get there and then only had about a 45 minute guided tour. Again, what did we pay for – it seems like a bus ride?

Venice, Italy

Ship excursion was a waste of money. This tour was a boat ride around Venice without any stops and only brief narration. It was a nice boat ride but not at all worth the price, as we didn’t really experience a “tour guide” experience. Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Cathedral and Glass Showroom - This was a terrible tour and really a waste of money. The guide spent a minimal amount of time with us and then it was mainly on our own. What did we pay for? Finally, the Glass Showroom was just a marketing ploy to get us to buy Murano Glass products. I am sure that you get some kind of cut on what we buy there. I didn’t pay to be pushed into buying products during a tour that I already paid for????

Brilliance of the Seas

I would NOT recommend that you cruise on this ship unless the ports of call are somewhere you really wanted to go on a vacation.
