Children's Programs

Not really sure how to rate the kids club. My 4 year old loves it on all other cruises he’s been on and couldn’t wait to go. But the first night we took him and they called us with him crying after an hour and a half and he wouldn’t go back the whole cruise. When we returned the phone the last day of the cruise I mentioned it to the staff that was working and they didn’t even seem to care.

We live that there is a free beach right at the port. This is one of our favorite ports.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Shops were very nice. Only complaint is they will sell you knives in the port and they can’t be taken back on the ship. If you buy one you are taking a chance of it being confiscated and not getting it back at all.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We love this port as well. The only complaint is the jewelry store employees are very pushy.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy
