Review summary

Fantastic cruise overall, particularly the SCUBA Diving we experienced in Cozumel, Belize, and Costa Maya!! My husband bought a GoPro and is still sorting through all the footage, but said his videos are Fantastic! We also appreciated all the professional photography opportunities and bought the deluxe package--well worth the investment for 8th Anniversary memorabilia!!

Embarkation was less painful this time--the Fly, Snooze & Cruise travel plan I booked worked well!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Drift dives at Tormentos & Paradise--appropriate for beginners & advanced SCUBA Divers. Tx to Dive Masters Mario & Tony!

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
The Belize SCUBA Diving crew in particular went Above & Beyond with their hospitality—5+++ stars!! Special Thanks to Dive Master Emric, the General, Biggy, & Rocke for showing us the sites at Crikozeen/Turneffe Atoll & Black Pearl!!

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We swam & snorkeled with the Dolphins—fun excursion, but know ahead of time that the dolphins may just choose to Avoid people…not sure they were necessarily highly motivated to interact during the snorkel part of the activity?!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
More advanced dive, and the Costa Maya reef was astounding...teaming with coral & aquatic wild life to explore.

They have several photo packages to choose from, but we knew from previous experience that we might want LOTS/ALL of them LOL, so we just bought the $400 ALL inclusive package that came with several extras--including 8 x 10 of each pose, a 20 x 30 canvas print of our favorite pose, and ALL the digital copies on a flashdrive...we have 130+ photos as a matter of fact! I recommend visiting as many of the photographers as possible and see your results :D.

For elegant night is there a package or do we buy each picture separately?
