Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Didn't like the promenade deck where you had to go up 22 stairs and down 22 stairs each lap, I like to walk 5 miles per day. Only deck 7 you could walk inside around the ship, otherwise you have to go up to 7 to get down to the Palm dining room

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The staff were wonderful at cleaning, but the shower is TINY, no tub, which is okay if the shower is a bit bigger

Ship tip

Check out the size of the shower before booking the room!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

My flight from Vancouver to Toronto was delayed so I have to overnight in Toronto and board the ship on April 1st, so soon as I arrived in Ft. Lauderdale

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We went straight to the El Cid Hotel and enjoyed a full day of sunshine and swimming in the ocean

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras Did not visit port

High winds cruise ship couldn't dock

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
High winds made us 1 1/2 late to start our tour, TOUR was excellent, but we didn't get much time in the port itself.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

High winds again kept us from docking

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We walked off the ship, through customs and straight to a taxi
