Good size room with balcony. Clean and well done interior. Very tasteful. Bed was comfortable for both of us. Much appreciated!

loud, filthy, rugged land where anyone with sight or mobility issues may fall. The cement walk ways and brick pavers are torn are up making it difficult to walk. Poverty at port and a feeling of being unsafe may arise as the poverty is so evident and uncleanly environment. People seemed okay but I was uneasy as a woman. My husband was fine with it but remarked how junky and torn up the area was. Need to go outside that town for anything of scenic views. It does make you appreciate your country.

George Town, Grand Cayman

2 out of 5
Just shops and tourist trap. Not an authentic place where you can really experience the locale. Must move beyone the port.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
It was fine. Better than the others and more aesthetically attractive. Lots of shops w/ local craftsman for leather, etc.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent . Just miss our ship and crew!!!!
