Review summary
Cruise itinerary was great, but the shore excursions were a rip-off. They advertised them for sertain lengths of time, and cut them short by 30-45 mins. we would have LOVED having that time to spend at the Mayan Ruins we went to in two different ports. That was the big reason we took this particular cruise in the first place, was to go to the ruins. Have cruised other with other cruise lines, Holland, and Princess, and there shore excursions were worth every penny we spent. Sadly disappointed.

Ship tip
Buffets had a very small selection compared to Princess and Holland. The specialty dining food was great. wondered if that was why the food was of less quality in the buffet, and main dining rooms, to encourage you to pay the 'service charge' or to encourage you to buy the 'Ultimate Dining Pkg".
Ports of call
Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
