Ship tip

Please don't be rude to the staff. There were a lot of people who were rude to them. They work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, 6-7 months on the ship, and go home for 2 months. They try very hard but don't get a lot of rest. Be respectful.

We stayed the night in New Orleans before and after the cruise. We're originally from there and enjoyed seeing where we grew up.

Very nice port with wonderful people. We took a bus to Hotel Reef Yucatan, all inclusive beach day. Our tour guide on the bus was awesome and the staff at the hotel were a lot of fun.
