Review summary

I think this might be my last cruise. It just wasn't so much fun on board the ship like it use to be on Carnival ships. Nothing fun in the pool area except for the water slides. There use to be contest around the pool that were so much fun, none of that on this ship. The various bars that had singers were terrible. The piano par was just awful. The comedians were good.

The catameran snorkel and beach was fantastic.

Belize City, Belize

2 out of 5
The port was not very interesting we didn't do an excursion in Belize.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras Did not visit port

The wind and currents were too bad to dock in Roatan so the ship went back to Cozumel

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We carried our own luggage off the ship. It took about 45 - 1 hour.

Jailaway - I agree about piano bar singers. I never understood the following many have. But I don’t drink alcohol, so maybe that makes a difference.

Jallaway have you seen eden parker yet in the piano bar? He's absolutely the best ever!!

I guess I get to find out in June. For me, I avoid the main pool Deck at all times during the day. The only contest i've seen up there is the Hairy Chest contest which is really more "who can act the most obscene without showing their bits". And so I can sound even grumpier: I have yet to find a piano bar performer that I can tolerate more than 30 minutes
