Review summary

Everything was clean and everyone was pretty nice. I really liked the itinerary - my first time to Central America!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I liked how you can get 2 or 3 appetizers or entrees! It was nice how they let us switch our seating time as well.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Great selection, but I wish there was more than 1 black jack table! I was always waiting for a seat and they could have made more money if they added a few more tables by subtracting some of the ever-vacant slots.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

All people were pretty nice, and though there are a few things that come to mind, I don't remember TOO much going "above and beyond".

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean - it would have been nice not to have to tender at 2 of the 4 ports. I know tendering is normal, but I wish it wasn't.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great, but we barely spent any time in it! A tad more counter space would have been nice.

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5

Dropped at the wrong port than I expected. 7-mile beach was great, but not as spectacular as I had read about prior to the trip.

Thumbs Up 0

Don't Miss: Margaritaville, with gigantic pool and beach, which we never made it to, which was at the other port apparently.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5

Clearly the best - rustic, non-touristy. Tabyana beach was authentic and the food and drinks and rentals were very cheap!

Don't Miss: Tabyana Beach

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5

Excellent only because I had to choose Roatan as the best, but this was definitely a close second.

Thumbs Up 0

Don't Miss: Bannister Island

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

3rd place out of the 4, only because first and second place were very spectacular.

Don't Miss: Drinking Dos Equis

Pros: The itinerary

Cons: We got dropped at a different port at Grand Cayman (are there 2?) than I expected.
