Review summary

Cruise was last minute get away from home for awhile.  We really love to snorkel and the destinations all provided that opportunity.  Unfournately we were unable to online book a snorkel adventure on Costa Maya.  We were very disappointed that the Costa Maya snorkel by boat excursion did not allow people over 60 to book.  I play golf 3 or 4 times a week and walk (thats about 18 miles a week) so they might want to rethink that over 60 thing for that excursion.  

 

Routan-  the water was a little rough but we managed fine and saw some nice underwater sea life.  

 

Costa Maya - When we got on ship we were able to cancel our booked excursion and replace it with a Catamaran snorkel excursion.  That was excellent service on the excursion staffs part.  When we got to Costa Maya it was too rough (5 - 6 foot waves) but we went onshore to see.  Well our excursion had been canceled (understood) but we were able to book another excursion without having to go back to the ship.  This whole process was very impressive and all the billing was correct.  GREAT JOB by all involved!

 

Cozumel - We love going here and doing the Fury Catamaran Snorkel and Beach.  I guess all I have to say is we have done it 5 or 6 times and will continue to do it when we are in Cozumel.  It is well organized, fun, safe and they have a great staff

Bathroom redesign is great. Water contained in shower, larger sink, and more room to store bathroom items. I would get rid of the glass table in the cabin room itself.

Ship tip

For walking purposes I would get on Deck 4 and walk around. Very crowded and windy on walking track on top deck. Also the 12:00 to 1:00 pm $1.00 Mimosa sell every day is wonderful

We thought about a 3rd party but quickly dismiss it. One time we a boat breakdown going back to port from excursion and since arranged through cruise line that waited over 1 hour for our return. Hard to put a price on that

People underestimate the value of booking excursions through the cruise line. It might be a few bucks more but when there are disruptions or changes it is usually very easy to deal with them. That's not always the case when booking 3rd party.
