Review summary

Our excursions to the Stingray Sandbar and Turtle Farm in the Caymans, as well as the ATV jungle ride in Cozumel were great. As usual, Carnival crews are among the best, and Malcolm, our cruise director, was hilarious. Comedians were terrific in Punchliner. Other entertainment was so-so. Dinner was always something to look forward to, but breakfast was unimaginative with dry eggs and hard biscuits. Lunch was average. Unfortunately, fog caused a very late departure and we missed our stop in Falmouth. Costa Maya is pretty boring unless you just want to drink or shop at the same shops you see everywhere else.

Fairly average. The web description mentioned bathrobes which we did not have and finally got an ice bucket about three days in.
