Review summary

We really enjoyed our vacation but we really did not enjoy Costa Maya. We paid for a taste of costa maya with open bar and beach break but there was no open bar and the only thing we saw was a lighthouse. I also had an issue because we were told by several people that they only paid between 50-300 for the cruise and we paid well over 2000. While we appreciate the onboard credit of 200 as well as the 50% off future cruise it would have been nice to pay less for this change

You have to drop a lot of money in the casinos to get those cheap cruises!

I’ve never heard of a cruise costing $50 to $300.
