Review summary

We had a great time on our cruise, as it turned out it was an 8 day cruise instead of a 7 day cruise because of fog that rolled in on Saturday evening and closed down the Houston Ship Channel. We arrived back in port on Monday early AM; all the ship's crew and staff handled this "new adventure" amazingly well under the circumstances and our captain Nick Nash kept us well informed as to the status of our progress and the conditions until we arrived back in port.

Our balcony room was smaller than I remembered and the mattress was in need of replacement.

My husband and I were observers to our family when they swam with the dolphins in Cozumel, they thoroughly enjoyed their encounter with the dolphins and the manatee.

The beach at Mahogany Bay was awesome! It's one of my favorites in the Caribbean.

We went shopping in Belize City and took a city tour, our driver thanked us for coming to support their economy and was very appreciative of us coming to shop there.
