Review summary
We had a great time on the cruise. The ship was really nice and the room was great. Big balcony and very private. My only complaint was the food. The windjammer buffet was closed from 3 to 6 and then closed for the night at 9pm. The only other place we could get food was the Cafe Promanade pizza/sandwiches which was awful! Room service was an extra charge for $8, when we did try to call they never answered and then it just disconnected and recording said to try again. We ate once at the Italian Specialty dining and twice at the main dining room, food was good, not great, but the desserts had no flavor to them. How is that possible ??? At Costa Maya we did a great tour that I booked with Native Choice, to the Mayan Ruins. They were great, small tour of 8 to 10 people and they even stopped on the way back to buy pineapple from the lady's selling on the side of the road. Loved it!! In cozumel we took another private tour that took us to 5 different local resturauants, we experience the real Cozumel and the culture of those that live there. It was awesome.Embarkation
