Review summary

Very enjoyable. The cruise director, The Flying Scotsman, was a big part of making it enjoyable. I rarely ever even know or remember the cruise director but Chris Williams will be a hard act to follow. He's everywhere talking to everyone making sure that everyone is having a good time. He's an extraordinarily talented entertainer.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The size and arrangement was nice. The first time I've ever been in a regular balcony (not a suite) and while it was small it was sufficient for 2 people. Our steward seem to always be around and ready to help in any way possible. I really don't know when he slept.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5

Roatán is beautiful, the port is very clean. Went to the beach near the port. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Thumbs Up 3

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5

First time I've been to a tinder port. The process was smooth but long. Not a fan. The tour was nice and very informative but Belize was quite a change from Roatán and Cozumel.

Thumbs Up 1

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

As always Cozumel is very pretty and clean. Since I've done a number of excursions we just explored on our own. I always feel confortable and safe in Cozumel.
