Review summary

We needed some time away from being caregivers and this cruise fit the bill. It was also my wife's bithday in the middle of the cruise week so the timing was perfect. We were familiar with 2 ports but not Roatan or Costa Maya. Both turned out to be interesting stops. Costa Maya showed how the cruise companies can develop a closed area and confine the business to their own shops. Outside of the closed areas the poverty was quite eveident.

Roatan would be a place to explore on a separate vacation. It was nice to be there but we are the type to explore on our own.

Belize was a typical Central American small city and Cozimel was Cozimel!!!

Typical interior cabin. We don't spend any time in the cabin except for sleeping and changing clothes so we always ahve an interior cabin. Plus, the sleeping is fantastic!!!!! Pitch black with no outside light!!

Ship tip

Get a map of the ship so you can find all the hidden away dining areas.

You left cabin 9430 and I set sail on September 17th in cabin 9430..;). You are right...the best cabin steward I ever had. His name was SU! Absolutely incredible.

Glad you had a great trip...and happy late bday to the wife! Being caregivers is a very hard job....so I'm glad you had a chance to get away and relax!
