Review summary

Weather was rough so the ship was rocky. I had noisy neighbors frequently from 2-3AM and I should have complained. I will make sure not to take future cruises in Jan. Photos are too expensive. On the positive side, the staff was WONDERFUL!! Big praises to the Cruise Director MARC Q! Food was fresh and well prepared. Ship very clean!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
As soon as we boarded, I joined the line dancing activity and the cruise Director 'MARC Q asked me to join him on the pool platform. 3 days later when I came to my cabin, I had a plate of chocolate strawberries, a cruise statue and a very nice thank you card for joining him and sharing my excitement!! Whenever he saw me he always called me by my name. I will always remember his kindness!

Belize City, Belize

did the Mayan Ruins, the weather was bad so we weren't able to climb so ruins because it was slippery. Long bus ride but the Tour Guide was informative and so funny which mad a trip bearable.

Cozumel, Mexico

Why didn't you like cruising in January? We are going in January next year.

Next time take some really bright (maybe neon) fabric and tie it to the luggage handle. It'll be easier to spot from a distance.
