Review summary
Our trip was great. We traveled with my 2 year old and both of our parents and they did wonderful. We loved the boat and the activities on board. Excursions seemed too expensive and not for younger or older adults so we didn't go on any, but did stop at the beaches in Jamaica and Grand Caymen. Both awesome!! Unfortunately, Cozumel was ridiculous and the "scouts" working at our stop were pretty aggressive (that is that I am also Mexican and speak Spanish), hence we walked and only shopped there. I would recommend renting a car in Cozumel and driving yourself to sight see to avoid the scams.

Ship tip
Make sure to take your walking shoes! It is a very big boat and lots of walking to the front and back. Get a room in the middle to make it easier. Live Music is on till ~ 10pm so be ready to hear pounding in the walls some nights. Great food so you do not need to purchase a "fancy" meal.
