Review summary

I highly recommend this cruise. The ship is gorgeous, and the crew could not have been any more attentive to your needs. Love the free style cruise. The specialty restaurants were outstanding. My favorite Le Bistro. There are so many onboard activities you have to pick and choose. The ports were beautiful, and the locals were very friendly and welcoming.

Can't say anything negative except the week flew by way to fast.

First time for a balcony cabin. Would never do anything but a balcony when we cruise again. Evenings and early mornings sitting out on the balcony soaking up the ocean breezes was so relaxing. The cabin steward kept everything neat and clean.

Ship tip

Enjoy! The dining package was great. There were so many choices. The other dining rooms were excellent as well. We really enjoyed The Tropicana Room. They have vibrant entertainment they we really enjoyed.

Do the zip line. My husband and I are in our mid 60s. Check one thing off the bucket list! Very exciting.

Really enjoyed the vibrancy at the dock. Good shopping and by all means visit the little restaurant Beliezian Breezes. Good food and entertainment. Reasonably priced. We don't recommend the boat tour up the Belieze river. We saw very little wildlife, a bit boring.

We did the Myan ruins tour combined with lunch an 7 color lagoon. Our driver Miguel and tour guide Jasmine were wonderful. We stopped for a chicken fajita lunch after touring the ruins. Delicious. Your choice of local beers or fresh pineapple juice. I highly recommend the pineapple juice. On to 7 color lagoon. Beautiful, Lounge chairs kayaks, swimming and Jasmine and Miguel became bartenders. Beers, fresh pineapple margaritas, pins coladas were free flowing. Great host and hostess. Highly recommend this tour.

Quaint Mexican town. Shopping mecca. If you are shopping for jewelry by all means attend the seminars on board with Kevin and Aisling. A wealth of knowledge plus they guide you on where to shop. They actually go to stores in port and they will advise you on a purchase.
