Review summary
The people are nice, and the food was good. However, they had no flexibility when there were unexpected events. Before the cruise started, they changed a port from Grand Cayman to Costa Maya. Did they consider that we chose the cruise precisely because we wanted to visit two different places? In any case, they offered a $25 credit to offset this unpleasant situation. However, the second destination day, the weather was too bad to dock the ship. We had to stay on the boat. So, on a 5 night cruise, we got off the boat once. That is not what we paid for, and, to be honest, the boat is not nice enough to support 4 days of "entertainment."

The Captains #1 priority is your safety, your happiness is not. If weather is bad a ship will not go, if sea;s are rough tenders will not go and port will be canceled.
The Flexibility is you got your 5 days on a cruise ship, nobody got hurt trying to tender in unsafe conditions, nobody got sea sick cruising into bad weather.
The $ 25.00 is likely port fees for the missed port. It is a disappointment to miss a port, but I'm sure your review would be worse if you sailed into a storm, got sea sick and then got injured on tender.
