Review summary
The highlight of this trip are the ports. We went snorkeling in Cozumel (but got stung by jelly fish, and frankly there are much better places to snorkel like Hawaii), cave tubing in Belize which was very fun and began with a $5 coconut full of rum, ziplining in Roatan which was an incredibly beautiful place, and Mayan ruins tour in Costa Maya. I am glad we did a tour at the last stop, because I would have gone bananas if I were trapped in the overpriced little cruise terminal shopping area. There is no place walking distance from the cruise terminal, so do yourself a favor and take a tour.
The cruise offered very good entertainment, my favorite being the incredibly talented magician and the aerialist acrobats. Our room attendant did a great job. Only complaint would be the service and food quality in the main dining rooms. I have been on several of the other big cruise lines, and they are all far superior in service and food quality. I did not go to the specialty restaurants- I hope they were better.
