Review summary

Overall a great trip. My husband and I have been before, but we took 3 of our adult children for their first cruise and they had a wonderful time. They stayed in a room with the big window but want a balcony the next time. We stayed across the hall. Staff was great, food was great. Ready for another one.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had plenty of room, our Room Stewards were great. Could have used a few more drawers, but we made it work.

Ship tip

They really need to be more forthcoming on events aboard the ship prior to boarding. At least for first timers.

Would have been ok if the Gangway was working. No communication about issues before or after.

Enjoyed this port, the excursion we picked, Top 10 of Roatan, about 1/2 the places we went were promo shops that were available at the port.

Love Belize, the people make it great. We went to the Ruins with hour bus ride, 30 minute boat ride. All around great excursion. In a couple of years, tendering won’t be needed. Not enough time after that for shopping.
