Review summary
We only went on the cruise because our daughter’s dance studio performed with Dancin’ st Sea. We had no previous cruise experience, so this was definitely a great way to be introduced. Three countries on two continents, wow! Great food, great entertainment, and a chance for her to perform on a professional stage. A+ Family vacation.Embarkation

Ship tip
Definitely sign up for a couple of excursions, but give yourself time to relax at the beach. Two favorites: in Costa Maya we sped through the tourist area and took a shuttle to the fishing village. We ate at Kabara (I think that’s the name). Included with our meal was lounge chairs and beach access. Food and beverages for a hungry and thirsty family of five came out to around $100. Also, we took a taxi in Cozumel to paradise beach. Beach, pool, and chair was $3 per person plus min. $10 in food purchase per person. Totally worth it.
