Review summary

The ship staff was wonderful, our stateroom steward Efron was excellent and called us by name every time we saw him. One thing to keep in mind is that you are just one or two of 3000 people on the ship and there are LINES and long waits everywhere. Food for the most part was better than expected, but it takes a long time to be served in the dining room. Be wary of some of the excursions, one of the tours we booked thru the cruise line didn't tell us that they Mayan Ruins were really ruined - the buildings had been blown up searching for gold that wasn't there. If we had known that, we would have taken a different tour.

About the size of a standard hotel room in Europe, but the bedding was better than most hotels in the US. Very Comfortable. Stewards and staff are extremely efficient and friendly.

Ship tip

If you are not traveling with children, take advantage of the adult only areas. The Serenity area at the front of the ship and the Adult only pool at the back of the ship. Much less crowded or frantic. Be careful about the food on the first day, we got queasy after the Saturday lunch.

very commercial, nothing really to see but the shops. If you can, take a cab out to one of the resorts so you can get on the beach. that was amazing.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Get out to the West Bay area and go to one of the resorts. We went to the Harry Morgan resort and had a great afternoon on the beach.

Belize City, Belize

The Cave Tubing trip was amazing, but the rest of the city is pretty run down. as long as you book a tour, you are ok.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
The vendors and the stores are very aggressive in getting people in there. it got to the point that I just wanted to get back on the ship.
