Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Upon arrival, we wanted to get on the ship and upon departure, we wanted to get home.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
It was pouring down rain the day we visited this port. We took a bus trip around the island, which involved trying to miss all the potholes. Our bus driver was fantastic; very careful driving during the rain and avoiding potholes. Tour guide was good. We didn't go on the boat trip, but remained in the restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Had a wonderful time shopping in this beautiful port. Also enjoyed a delicious lunch.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Took an excursion to the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins which was very interesting. Erick was an outstanding tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided information that made the trip enjoyable. Melin, the bus driver, was very helpful, even assisting me on the climb after I slipped almost immediately. Great adventure.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel is so beautiful. We took a taxi to meet our Buggy Island Overview and Snorkel excursion. We rode in a buggy with a newlywed couple on their honeymoon -- delightful young people and he was a safe driver. Enjoyed spectacular scenery on the ride and made several stops to enjoy the beach, visit Mayan ruins, visited a Tequila shop and enjoyed lunch. Oman, Hernane and Jose were fantastic tour guides.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were off the ship in record time. Everyone was helpful in directing us to the right areas to pick up luggage and go through customs.

Iā€™m back on the Getaway in January. You mentioned no long lines at embarkation. What time did you arrive? Iā€™m trying to gauge best time with shortest lines. We will be traveling with our daughter and her family and her hubby is not very tolerant.
