Review summary

Next cruise I will be sure to see if "tendering" is involved. I'm not a fan. I prefer a port with on site beach and chairs and food and cold local beer and snorkeling... like Grand Turk! Next cruise I will not book a room under the Lido deck. Next cruise I will have late dining because I enjoy late day sun when the chairs are finally free up and the sun not as strong.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
our personal stateroom steward, Nopadon, was friendly and excellent at his job, we were very happy with his personality and performance. A++ Our early dining wait staff was delux!! They were friendly and efficient, they were a joy to have every evening. Victor from Peru, Harold and Juan (i think) All were excellent!!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
easy ship configuration, i think this is an older ship so id expect wear and tear, but i thought every lav i used was nicely clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

someday I'm going to have a suite.....

Ship tip

do not choose the 8th floor for your sleeping quarters..... it's right under the Lido deck, 7 would be better!

i hate tendering too close to the dusty busy road..... stay too short, did a tour and couldnt check anything else out

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
best port to enjoy, really well built and maintained, wish we had stayed on the beach right there all day. island is small and poor with dusty terrible roads

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
i hate tendering...... city seems virtually under construction. not what i expected, but then again, i have really high expectations. our tour to Al Tun Ha was enjoyable.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
i cannot believe there is not a beautiful beach right at the port within walking distance. i hate bartering for a ride and leaving it up to locals to tell us where the best snorkeling might be.

Disembarkation

I don't like to tender. I feel like I cut the stop so short to get back early to avoid the lines...
