Review summary
MY ONLY FAULT WAS THE FORMAL NIGHT WAS ANY TIME SO THERE WAS NEVER REALLY A FORMAL. ALSO NOW ALL THE GREAT ESCARGOT AND
FILET MIGNON LOBSTER IS ALL EXTRA CHARGES. THAT SAID THE FOOD
ON THE TRIP WAS ABOVE OTHER CRUISE LINES. NOT OVER DONE WITH
TO MUCH SPICE HIDING INFERIOR QUALITY CUTS AND THE FOOD WAS WAYYY MORE THAN AMPLE. I GAINED WEIGHT EVEN THOUGH I PROMISED TO NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO.
FINALLY THE GRATUITYS ARE ALL INCLUDED WHICH I LIKE TO CALL OUT WHOS SERVICE IS BEST GETS PAID ACCORDING TO MY CHOICES.
I DID WITHHOLD IN OUR ROOM OF 3 OCCUPANTS AND PUT MONIES AS I SAW FIT. I HOPE THE ROOM STEWARD IS ALWASY RECOGNIZED BY
THE STAFF AND WHEN I ASKED CASH BREAKDOWN THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW. SO I PUT IT IN FAVOR OF ROOM GIRL. SHE WAS EXCELLENT AND GREAT ATTITUDE SUPER HELPFUL.
OF THE MAJOR CRUISE LINES THOUGH I THINK THEY COULD ALL USE HELP, NORWEGIAN SUPERSEDES THE OTHERS UNLESS IT IS OCEANA OR OTHERS THAT ARE A DIFFERENT COST VALUE WHICH IS WHY.
Beware of Costa Maya in Mexico. Ask pricing before you buy at restaurants.
I went to drunk burrito and they gouged after we were trusting enough to ask for
a couple of waters chips and dip taco and bean and cheese burrito assuming
$15-$20 it was $60 and very poor quality food. then they were insulted when I refused to leave a gratuity for being screwed. I assume they figure americans get money for nothing and we can waste it with no concerns. Most of Mexico and foreign lands have always been very gracious. I blame us for being a bit too
trusting.......... not again LOL

Ship tip
try a week or 2 before sailing call for return customers to see if you can get an inexpensive upgrade. Several people with low end packages bumped up and did better than I. I have done 20 plus cruises and found that every year there are nuances the be learned in travel. Based on occupancy.
Ports of call
Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
