Review summary

We had such a wonderful escape from reality and loved the cruise.  Such a great experience, wonderful staff , great food and entertainment, very light hearted.  Loved the islands and excursions. Only down sides about it was we got fogged in from the Houston port so we lost a day. I would port out of somewhere warmer and more reliable weather in the future and wish I had more time in Cozumel...so much to do there. Swam with the Dolphins what an experience and enjoyed the shops and beach life!

Food and Dining

Wonderful food and dining experience...we ended up doing the anytime dining so we could eat on our schedule and meet new people. We didthe non-alcohol drinking package it was worth it. My hubby had is shake everyday and I had my frozen non-alcohol drinks along with sodas, etc.

We did not have kids traveling with us and in all honesty we were looking for a cruise not overpoplated with kids. This was a nice mix, not too many munchkins

I swear .the gentleman cleaning our room instantly knew when we were leaving, he would quickly sneak in, clean it up and was always available and saying hi in the hallway. WE had a balcony and enjoyed opening the sliding door and just hearing the ocean with the nice breaze.

I wish we had more time here the stop was too short and there was a lot of choices on things to do. I highly recommend swimming with the dolphins...loved it! Wonderful beaches.

Yes, there is never enough time in ports.  Sounds like your cruise was wonderful despite the delay despite the fog.
