Review summary

This was our first time out of Galvestion Tx. Getting to and on the ship was a breeze. There were lines but they moved pretty good. I will say though we had a suite so we were able to by pass some wait but people we met on the pier we saw on board shortly after so it didn't take them long either.

Service was was great all the way around. We did have a few days at sea where the weather wasn't the best but we made the most of it. Sitting in the hot tub on those days the bar service was still great

in Belize we did the cave tubing. That was a good excursion. Got to see quite a bit of the island by bus as it was taking us to the location. We were also served a normal Belize lunch. Food was good and people very friendly. The tubing was beautiful and the caves amazing. It's not too strenuous so I would recommend it if you want something other than your typical tour.

Cozumel, which we have been to many times, we did the tourist this and went to the Tequila tasting. They were trying to sell you a little but it was informative and the lunch served was good.

Getting off off the ship was a whole other matter. We did the early walk off thinking it would be easy. The ship was slightly disorganized in getting people to the right area and after about a half hour of standing around the line started to move. Well, we thought we were good as we had a car waiting us to take us to the airport. It took us another hour and ten minutes in line to get out. That was the only bad part of the trip. Not sure if it was RC or the folks at the port but they need to work on it.

We had a suite which was outstanding. Plenty of room to move and closet space was very good. We had an issue with the toilet one day but with a simple call it was taken care of. Bathroom was big enough for two of us to be in there at the same time without stepping on each other.
