Great cruise! We are veteran "cruisers", and it met our expectations.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth - in our cabin in ~20 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was great, but Anytime dining wasn't optimal for the wait staff. It seemed like we were seated about the time the "showtime" began, so the service was a little spotty.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the shows & movies, walking track.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

5 out of 5
We had a great kayak and snorkel excursion. Our guide, Raymond, was excellent! Very friendly and helpful.

Belize City, Belize

We had a great excursion to the Lamanai ruins. Phillip was a great tour guide and a great ambassador for Belize.

Cozumel, Mexico

We just shopped near the pier, and found some great Christmas gifts for family.

Disembarkation

We were in our car 30 minutes after leaving our room. Much improved over the years.

We were on the Sky Princess which was docked next to the Horizon and Vista in Cozumel. Looked like a great ship. Met some cruisers at Paradise Beach who were totally enjoying their Vista experience
