Review summary

The ship was wonderful---a newer build, lots of room and amenities

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was darn near perfect except for one weird, green chicken dish---scary

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Comics were great, lounge singers were pretty bad, floor shows were really good, the demonstrations such as cooking and ice carving as well as the towel folding demo were great fun and memorable. I hated the "informercial" side of the cruise, crappy jewelry, overpriced art auctions and the like. Will avoid at all costs next cruise.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5

Cruise company "city", nice beach setup, fun ski lift ride, more tourist shops ---isolated from the real Roatan where the Island people live and work, which is a shame.
