Review summary

The trip started with pouring rain on Sunday.  Monday and Tuesday the weather was beautiful.  Wednesday the water was rough so we stayed on ship.  Thursday went to port.  Very warm so we didn't stay in port only a few hours.  Friday port was too rough so ship couldn't dock.  We traveled with friends and this was their first cruise.  I am pretty sure this will be their last.  I forget to mention that there was a small fire on board.  Ship staff took care of the fire immediately so all turned out okay with this.  This being our 4th cruise and how it went, we may try an all inclusive next time.  Still undecided on that.

Ship tip

I feel this ship offers plenty to do. I look forward to the shore excursions and because we only ended up at two was disappointed. This could happen on any ship.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras Did not visit port

Rough water so we remained on ship as we did not want to get sea sick

Belize City, Belize Did not visit port

Extremely warm so we only shopped at port. Felt shopping prices were a little high in some stores and felt store clerks tried to pressure you to come into their stores.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Cancelled as it was too rough to dock ship at this port.

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

I guess there are never any fires or problems in shoreside restaurants. And the fire crews are amazing. Why will it be your friends last cruise? Did you/them not expect it to be warm and humid in the Caribbean? Surprised you didn't complain about sand on the beach

One of the dishwashers in the Cagney's Steakhouse, the specialty dining restaurant caught fire. We ate at the steakhouse the night after the fire with no problems.

The cruise line has no control over the weather.
