Review summary

Great ports other than their private island, Harvest Kaye. The staff on the ship were all excellent. The entertainment was wonderful. The lines were short for the dining rooms and the menus were pretty varied. We really enjoyed the steakhouse, the wine bar, and the Irish pub.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We did a private tour that included horseback riding, reef snorkeling off a boat, monkey park, and lunch at a local place. Our guides with Roatan Tours and Travel were wonderful.

Harvest Caye, Belize

1 out of 5
Long dock to walk, murky, grassy water, and they charged you for food and drink even though it was their private island. Overall, a disappointing experience.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We did a private tour with Native Choice and visited the ruins and the lagoon of 7 colors (what a wonderful spot and unique resort).

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Snorkeled with the stingrays and it was fun. Ate lunch at La Mission, which was great.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Line was long but it moved pretty good.

can I ask what you didn't like about Harvest Kaye?! my parents recently went there, and they were less than impressed as well? said it's not like the other private islands. everything is overpriced and you have to use cash.. can't use your onboard acct. 😕 just curious what exactly it was for someone else?
