There were 4 in our group who all had the same options.
It may appear to some that I have been negative but we did enjoy the whole cruise. The food choices, windjammer buffet, was the letdown.
Pool warning: don’t put towels down and go for breakfast, the pool police put stickers on chairs if you are gone for 30mins or more. It was entertaining watching people argue
Embarkation
4 out of 5
The wait to embark was delayed because the ships previous cruise had a gastro virus. Once we were told that we could board after 12pm it took about an hour or so to get onboard
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
We did not buy the specialty dining package but ate in Chops and the Mexican Restuarant, Sabor. Chops took at least 3 hours for the meal to be completed, others came and went whilst we waited for food. The food itself was great but the service somewhat different.
Sabor was fantastic.
Now to the main reason why I gave a low market, everything is up sell.
After 9pm, you can have pizza or left over buffet food sandwiched and package as fresh food.
The choice without paying for room service is next to none.
The buffet, well if you like burgers, hot dogs, pre made eggs (you have to leave the Resturant and go down a floor, yes go down a floor, to get fresh eggs. You are then suppose to return to the main buffet room to eat.
The waiters continued through breakfast to come round selling the specialty restaurants saying if you want more selection or better food, upscale.
Starbucks was expensive
The mini bites and ‘boardwalk’ area served.... hot dogs but we’re shut by 9!!

Ship Quality
5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Having sailed with other cruise liners (Norwegian) the room was well laid out and bigger than I anticipated. Loads of cupboard space and additional drawers for the MRS who took up most of the room :)
Dunn’s River Falls were great but be ready for chaos. Make you own way up the fall to the top in around an hour but be prepared for long lines, holding and helping out strangers as the guides do nothing.
Lovely views, lovely place but chaos
3rd time to Cozumel and loved it again. We went to playa de Mia beach resort. Used the facilities available like kayaking, water tricycles, inflatable area and chilled on the loungers.
Great way to spend 5 hours off the boat.
Happy to hear they are policing the chairs now too. We’re going on this ship for the first time in September and saw previous reviews about chair hogs. Good to know!
