Review summary

Very poor activities available.  Club Colony was closed at night and had a nice dance floor and area for band. The food was not up to standards of other cruise lines.  The best thing I experienced was the great service of the employees. The excursion was not long enough at the Mayan rueins with too much time at the beach. We never got to stop at Key West due to weather.  I think we should have then stopped at your private Island rather than the Captain sailing at a very, very slow speed to eat up time so to arrive in Cozumel on schuedule.

And it wasn't going very slow. It was at 11 to 15 knots he was just sailing west then north and south to arrive on time in Cozumel.

Wow. ... I was on same cruise and found it to better then most. The cruise director Tim and his crew were very good and had plan B with activities after missing Key West. There was a lot going on we couldn't do it all. Most of the entertainment was at Cetrum and deck 13 club. I agree on Colony club but they did use it for dancing with Big Band music on 4 day. The food was better than I had on Allure in November.
