Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffets were excellent BUT food choices were limited. At breakfast you basically have to beg for bacon. Guys Burgers were not as good as they were on other cruises. Shaq's Chicken was very good but also very limited options. No wings, drum Sticks or chicken thighs. The Chinese/Mexican fusion restaurant was not good. The Italian restaurant was good, especially the Chicken Parmesan & tiramisu. Rudy's Seagrill (extra charge) was GREAT

Port is a bit boring. Some excursiones are good. Mr Sanchos is good if that is your thing. Paradise Beach is good as well.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5
Did not care for. Locals tried to take advantage of us. Things overpriced. We compared and Cozumel was cheaper.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
