Review summary

Ship seemed very disorganized as far as take off times. Waited for excursions constantly well past time. Were rushed on all excursions. Cozumel was horrible experience. In Belize last ferry never showed up from ship and had to wait 45 mins past boarding time for ship to send someone to. pick up over 100 people. If have food allergies David's is not for you, food and service was the worst on the ship. Also, HGVC cruise deals are no deal, overpaid for this cruise$1700.00!

Excursion was a rip off. The only thing we got was constantly asking us for money/tips.

Thanks for the review. Cruising during Christmas and Covid is not always the best experience
