Size great, comfort great, noise awful, view blocked by helipad. There was a booming noise and lots of mechanical sounds throughout the cruise. I will not book a far forward cabin again.

The excursions were all cancelled due to a taxi strike, but the port shops are new and attractive, there is swimming, dolphin swim, and aviary, all for fees. Also tequila exhibit. Indigenous displays, free

Went to Mr. Sanchez, private, prebooked private beach club. Very well done, but pricy with taxi fare, $17 each way, and tips.
