Review summary

I've been to both these ports at least 3 times since January. I will go back again in the coming weeks. You can get great value for your dollar. The people are willing to bargain. However, everyone will be approached at least a hundred times before returning to the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I appreciated the assigned time lines that assisted in boarding. Staff were able to have each line process in the assigned time. Other RCI ports, like Port Canaveral, have all individuals on lines feeding in to the terminal regardless of the time you were assigned.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was fair to good in quality. In the buffet, food was not always hot. The dining room was much better.

The ship is starting to show it's age. You can see rust spots around the windows in the main dining room as well as in bathrooms.

An interior cabin, comfortable for two individuals and kept very clean.

A very busy area with much traffic.

Cozumel, Mexico

I like Cozumel as a port. I shop in the local supermarkets and appreciate the good valve for items when compared to prices in the USA.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico
