Review summary

Anyone that complains that this isn't a fun cruise must be an unfun person. The Cruise Director Tyler and his assistant Jacky are amazing and it's hard to keep up with all of the activities. The itinerary is fun and the weather was perfect. The staff is efficient and very caring.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Arrived around 10:30 and breezed to the front of the line. I have a broken foot so I waited for a wheelchair to walk me onto the ship. Embarkation started around 11:30 and by 11:45 we were in the Atrium with a drink.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate at Bayamo, Food Republic, La Cucina, Le Bistro, and Cagneys. Otherwise it was the dining rooms and O'Sheehans. Bayamos is okay but not worth burning one of your UDP choices. Food Republic is the best. The free places all had good food and if you didn't want to spend on specialty dining, it's not a huge deal to me. I've done it before and it was fine.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Tyler is the best Cruise Director and no matter how planning we did, we would miss something.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I missed the comedians this time but After Midnight was great!

Cabin / Stateroom

We checked for bed bugs because someone freaked me out. There was nothing there but I did pack bed bug spray and instead of spraying the room, it leaked out of the bottle and ziplock bag on to my pajamas. Classic. Thank God for laundry.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Did a Just Duck tour of South Beach and it was awesome.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Tabyana Beach was beautiful and had great security. Well worth the money.

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
The pool is beautiful but they haven't built up the port up enough yet. Love the butterfly enclosure.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Didn't do any excursions but I like the marketplace. There is a pool there that looks to be free to use if you don't want to spend on an execursion.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I know Cozumel is touristy but I like it. The beaches are gorgeous.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. Much better than the last two cruises I've been on.
