Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food in dining room was mediocre - still a fun dining experienc -beef dishes were the best. Food in buffets was better. Loved the cook to order omelettes, Chopsticks buffet, Italian buffet, salad bar, fresh fruit, and 24 hour coffee!

3 out of 5
Did a trivia game - harder than I thought! Previewed art auction, enjoyed walking track and playing golf.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved having the comedians and the fact there were 3 different rated shows each night! Very funny!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
I Putu was excellent room steward. Good, friendly service also by others but I did find it unusual that the waiter did not take my order first (I was the only lady of 4 people at my table and this is common practice in the US)

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Always clean - not sure how they do it!

Ship tip

Excursions are fun - take them! Get to lunch buffet quickly after excursions as it closes 2 or 3:00. Go to comedy shows.

Went on snorkeling excursion - meet us at pier, went 3 places, very helpful to those of us who were a little chicken.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Tenders were running back and forth frequently - so no problem. Very little to do at port if you do not take excursion. Went on ruins excursion - tour guide friendly and knowledgeable, ruins were interesting. Roads to get there were very bumpy, long ride through poor area, very hot in July!

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Loved this stop- wish we could have stayed longer. Great beach and shopping. The chair lift was not needed (as it is a short walk) but was fun to be high up (an old person’s version of a zip line :)

George Town, Grand Cayman

Short tender to port. Went on dolphin encounter & 7 mile beach excursion. Enjoyed touching and kissing dolphin but do be aware they take wonderful pics of you interacting with dolphins and charge an astronomical price for them. Yes, I bought because when am I going to ever kiss a dolphin again! 7 mile Beach was nice - beach chairs provided, restrooms & showers & restaurants right there
