Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We let the company choose our cabin, it was not what we would have selected, but was adequate, it had additional bunks for extra passengers that tool up additional space. Overall it was a good cabin.

Ship tip

Decide what you will use most on the ship, and choose your cabin accordingly. If you like the buffet on the Lido deck Aft, choose a cabin in the Aft portion of the ship.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

4 out of 5

Cozumel is a nice, safe port. It has a variety of shops at the port, so venturing into the town is not necessary. Weather was an issue, so we did not venture very far. We did not do any excursions.
