Review summary

The cruise was very good. The staff was personable and made every effort to make the cruise a memorable experience. The food, particularly at dinner was always good and at times exceptional. Enjoyed the ports and activities. Would recommend this cruise. I will say that, possibly due to the time of year, it was a "mature" passenger group. My companion and I may have been the only persons on the ship that were not retired. At least I didn't meet anyone who wasn't retired.

Beautiful Island. Went to Iguana Farm. Interesting, but not exciting. Take the tram by the pier to the beach.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5

Ziplining and cavetubing are the thing to do. Book on-line, cavetubing.bz. Half the price of the ship's excursion.

Cozumel, Mexico

Just went shopping this time. But it is a great dive location
