Ship tip

Read up on nautical directions in laymens terms if you aren't used to them in everyday life. It will make life alot easier.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Went thru security within 20 minutes from hotel shuttle drop off to onboard ship. No excursions.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Found the port vendors abit pushy and rude for a sale. They wouldn't take no for an answer. Just had to say no thank you in as graciously as possible and walk away. Yes, we did Chankanaab and their buffet leaves something to be desired.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the Dolphin Experience as an excursion. I was given the wrong size life jacket at first, but they rectified that situation. I am too buoyant is salt water apparently. I still had a great time all the same.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Great little port. Mahogany Bay Beach wasn't too far from the pier. Yes, we did the monkey, parrot, and sloth excursion. We loved holding Granny the sloth and it was hilarious to see the poor Capuchin monkey trying to get into pockets that were non-existent in my sundress.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was great, but didn't want to leave. When my husband thought that he lost a credit card in the cabin Marvin let him in to see if it was in there. Luckily, we found it at home after we got in the dirty laundry. We had to dig for one of my husband's suitcases because they didn't put all our luggage together even though we were in the same group.

Glad you had fun. Yeah it would be hard for them to make sure every group had their luggage put together. You are lucky most of them were together. Think of an airplane luggage belt. It is amazing how your bags get so separated.
