Review summary

Be prepared for the passenger muster drill--it takes 30 minutes and everyone stands on deck, pressed against each other and waits until everyone's accounted for. You can't really see the safety jacket demonstration unless you are in the front row. All ports of call except Belize City were excellent. If you plan to do a nature excursion in Belize be aware the roundtrip is 2 hours. If you plan to just tour Belize City by foot, keep in mind the tour guides and merchants greeting you at the port are aggressive and pushy--moreso than the other ports of call. My husband and I just wanted to do a walking tour and we were constantly approached by multiple people pitching the same tour or drugs. We rented a scooter in Cozumel and were free to do the island loop on our own--it was so much fun! We stopped by a beautiful beach, a reggae bar, a tequila tour and the ruins--this was not a tour package! We just rented the scooter for $25 and went to these locations ourselves! Roatan was also beautiful--we found a great tour guide to take us and another couple around the island on ATVs for a great price! If you ever go down to Roatan look up Dwayne/Stephano Bodden! His company is start-up and he's an excellent guide and felt like he was a friend/part of the group :). Grand Cayman had the most beautiful, clear water. We did a bus tour of the island and got to see volcanic rock formations, did a rum cake tour, visited Hell, and finished up the tour with a few hours' relaxation on Seven Mile Beach. It was great! One thing I noticed (in comparison to previous cruises) was that the crew on this cruise were not as friendly and helpful. The guy in charge of our cabin was very nice; but some of the drink servers seemed disinterested and didn't seem to have a clue other than fetching drinks. One drink server girl in particular in the nightclub answered every question (besides a request for a drink) with, "I don't know, I just started working here" while shrugging her shoulders. We saw several different people going up to her and asking her questions and each time, she'd shrug her shoulders. My husband and I gave her the nickname "I dunno". There was another drink server/bartender that skipped over us several times while approaching other guests who were sitting right next to us. We just gave up and went to another bar. Still another crew member was very short and didn't even bother to smile when answering a question my husband had about where the laundrette was. So I would say 50% of staff seemed friendly and helpful, but 50% were the opposite. In comparison to previous cruises, the staff and crew usually will go above and beyond to make you feel special (even if you know it's an act and they are working you for a good tip!)! However, that did not ruin the fun we had on the cruise; and the wonderful new friends we made :) Overall, I would recommend this cruise!
