Review summary

What a great vacation. Cruising made me feel like a high-roller! The entire staff went out of their way to cater to every need we had, and there was never a shortage of things to do. I really enjoyed the impressionist motif that they had working.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
Our Reef and Wreck Snorkel got canceled for this port, so we were on our own this day. We didn't quite understand the tendering process, so we didn't know we could get back on the boat for our swimsuits and towels when we wanted to go to the beach. We had to buy them from a shop, and ended up spending a fortune on new swim supplies. Then we taxied over to the beach, which was very nice, and beautiful - but the water was pretty cold. We ate lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, which was super cool, but with so many tourists in town, the service was miserable. Good thing gratuity was included.

Cozumel ended up being our favorite stop! My new wife wanted to touch some dolphins as some point on our trip, so we went to the state park to the Dolphin Touch Encounter. What a great time! We spend the hour after that snorkeling for our very first time. THAT was amazing, too. We didn't really do any shopping in any of the ports, but this excursion was by far our favorite.

Beautiful! We went to the Chukka Blue Horseback Ride and Swim. Even our Shuttle driver was a lot of fun. Viewing the Jamaican countryside on horseback, and swimming in the Caribbean on horseback is the not to be missed.
