Ship tip

Need more pools. Very overcrowded for large capacity. Beautiful ship with excellent dining. Best part of the cruise was bartender Clarence as he calls himself "Chocolate Cowboy" in 5 O Clock Somewhere Bar. You must see him. He is amazing!

Ports of call

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
