It was great! My only suggestion would be to allow siblings to stay together even if they are not in the same age range. My little one didn’t like to go often or for long because they always separated her from her sister and she was terrified. At the time of this cruise they would have been about 2 and 7. My older one actually wanted to stay with the little one but they wouldn’t allow her in the younger group. They are very strict in their age guidelines.

Standard inside cabin. Clean and did it’s job. Very tiny for a family of four.

My favorite port by far. We did the cave tubing and zip-lining excursion. It was beautiful. I’ve heard the expression “so beautiful it takes your breath away” but I didn’t really think that was a thing until we got to the mouth of the cave/river entrance. My mother literally lost her breath from the beauty!

We played on the beach here and word of caution: don’t let your toddler play in a stagnant pool of water on the beach that someone dug out and was filled during high tide. My daughter ended up getting sick (they called it Noro Virus) and was quarantined for the remainder of the cruise ~ 2.5 days ~ during which time I contracted the illness leaving my last day and debarkation miserable. My mom was kind enough to pack my kids and my belongings but somehow missed my brand new smartphone that was never reported as being found!

My sister and I did the “amazing Cozumel race” and won! It was cool to get to do so much in one day but everything felt so rushed because of course we were trying to win a race!!!
