LOTS OF FUN!!!
We lost power and drifted for about 30 minutes. That was a first for me and had me concerned for a bit. The crew got power restored in about 10 minutes but the ship engines didn't fire up for another 20 minutes or so. I was happy to have a balcony room so I could get outside while we were stopped. If I had been in an elevator when the power went out, this review would likely read a lot different!
Also, be careful in the fun shops. They sell some things, like watches, that can be bought on Amazon for a lot less. Do your homework!
Having said all of that, we are booked for November 2019 (Dream) and April 2020 (Vista).

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The dining room and buffets were good but my favorites are the BBQ and the burgers!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The sail away party and rock the promenade is always fun. I also enjoy the various bars and night club.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
I enjoyed the comedians and most of the live music. I have been on cruises with better live music though. The lady singer in the Red Frog was pretty rude and she wasn't that good....
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
most of the staff was great. When we were ready to catch a tender boat in Belize, the gentleman leading us out didn't seem to have his ducks in a row but it worked out. Also, the guys in the Karaoke bar wasn't very friendly.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Pretty clean. It seemed that there were more restrooms (or parts of the restrooms) out of service in the common areas.
I wasn't impressed with Belize. It's a tender port so that always adds time. The port area was okay for shopping and there are plenty of pharmacies but when you go out of the gate, it's a little sketchy. We took a tour bus ride around the city and it was uneventful but anywhere we stopped, we had to be "buzzed" in to the place of business and there was always one of our guides with the various segments of the group. Didn't feel extremely comfortable...
I love the Roatan! It's a cool place to visit. We did the Mayan Princess which is an all inclusive resort. We had a blast but the vendors on the beach will wear on you.
Anything is cheaper than getting it on the ship and especially ports. Dollar Tree is our favorite pre cruise shop. Found a hanging chair in port for 75.00. The guy wouldn't come off the price. Got it on Amazon for 35.00.
90% self debarked on our last cruise which caused a big line problem. Next time I’ll put my luggage in the hall the night before and go have some breakfast until the rush is gone.
