Review summary

RCI adds value to the vacation! Thank you for making our booking. See you again, soon! Appreciated that the ship help all celebrate Superbowl Sunday. Our cabin steward kept our room refreshed. Our dinner waiters were the best! Nobuhle, our assistant waiter had our favorite beverage brought to use within minutes of being seated.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Nicely designed. Galveston has lots to offer. Houston not too much. Travelers need to consider transportation options from airport to the port. About 1 hour travel distance and can be pricey. Too bad companies take advantage of tourist.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Interesting aging oasis. Went on a zipline tour which was excellent. Had a beach time as part of tour. Disappointed that the resort area we used for the day had a subsititute menu (same options) but with higher prices ($3 to $5 more for food and beverage options) once they learned you were part of the tour. Location appeared to be pre-arranged because we had to wear wrist ID's.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

Too windy so we did not port here

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
OK, we did not care to take a tour here. Walked around, found a restaurant that had beach access. No substititue menu!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy process. They used facial recognition instead of custom desks.
