If you do not cruise a lot, then this one (11 nts) may be too long for you, as it was for us. We did get away from "winter" for a few weeks, but there are more meaningful ways to spend your travel money.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Reviews I read said food was sooo good. I found it just okay...missing flavor, tenderness, and it all tasted the same regardless of where we ate on the ship. It was presented nicely, but then the flavor was missing. Need some different chefs.

Entertainment
5 out of 5
All shows were excellent except for the "adult comedian"...walked out when the first few minutes was just excessive swearing. That is not humor, but rather a lack of creativity.
Excursion was too rushed at historical sites, but then taking us to places to buy stuff. We got an overall look of the city, but what I learned, I got from YouTubes beforehand.
A short walk to a shopping area, rest of town was not so inviting just to walk around. I have spent a week in Costa Rica years ago, so did not need excursions. You cannot do this country justice in a tour of 3-4 hours.
This private island is beautiful. But it seems there is way too much infrasturcture for only 4-5 ships a week. Poor employees cannot make a living on few hours and tips.
3 ships in port at one time...big shopping area, swim with dolphins, or just walk around.
I have been to many Mayan ruins in GUA and MEX so did not need an excursion.
Thanks for sharing your cruise experience with us. Hope you find the right timing for your perfect cruise. We have always left wanting a few more days, and already counting the days until the next cruise.
