Review summary

Great cruise and can't wait for the next one. Entertainment was good on the ship. The only thing I wish had been different are the movies. They are on a super hero kick and that was all they showed every night. Maybe mix it up with a super hero movie one night, then a comedy, or drama, or musical other nights. And of course pirates of the caribbean are always a good choice. Lol

We had booked an all inclusive beach excursion, but due to red flag was planning on getting a refund. Instead they offered an all inclusive resort and beach getaway. It was great. We had access to their pool and the beach. Turned out to not be any rougher than the east coast. I will look for this excursion again. The bartenders made any drink for you. And there were chefs there to cook various things for you.

Did an excursion to a beach club. We had the option of doing all inclusive or just the access to the pools and beach. It was pretty nice. Afterwards we walked around. It took us awhile to find the "umbrella" street, but found out that they have bells up now. You can't walk down that street for some reason.

Did a shopping, sightseeing and beach excursion with another company. Didn't start out great seeing as though the tour guide was late. But ended up being very informative and coki beach was the absolute BEST beach we had been to this week.
