Review summary

Overall this was a great cruise. I really felt welcomed and cared for by the staff. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I didn’t enjoy costa maya or Belize ports because they were overly touristy and not worth seeing much. The private island is only good if you want to be in a pool with 500+ other people. They offered a ferry to the mainland for a cost, and the mainland area would have been great (stayed in that area on a separate trip to Belize), but they don’t let you leave the tourist areas so I didn’t feel it was worth 40-50 per person. Cozumel and Roatan were great and you could easily leave the main tourist area without issue. For entertainment, it left a lot to be desired. The Cirque show seating was a joke. They didn’t plan that set up logically. The dancing acts were mediocre at best with the same steps being performed over and over and no one was in sync.

I've heard the complete opposite about Cirque Dreams. Kind of disappointing to hear this, as I've purchased floor seats.
