Review summary

If you do not have limitations like I did; you will have a fabulous time! I had a good time, my physical limitations kept me from the fabulous time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Everyone greeted us; it was a long walk to get where we needed to go, walking with a cane made it a little difficult but lines weren't long or anything.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was great. Most restaurants did not have seating while waiting for a table. Standing with a cane made the wait uncomfortable.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pool didn't have steps to get all the way into the water so I couldn't swim to exercise my bad leg which was disappointing; all they had was a ladder. The fitness center was great; plenty of equipment and everyone there was wonderful.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were fabulous! The DJs used serato software which caused the music to freeze occasionally, ruining the mood; however they were great DJs.

Children's Programs

Did not come with children so don't know about the programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Once in the restaurants the waiters were so attentive, very similar to three and four star restaurants! The room steward went above and beyond; more service than from a four star hotel!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The staff and crew did their best to keep up behind some very sloppy guests. One guest left an ice cream cone in the corner of the elevator; I happened to have the same elevator within five minutes and when I was picked up the second time and the ice cream cone was gone.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was perfect for my husband and I; no complaints whatsoever. Our steward was amazing!

Ship tip

Be as healthy as possible; going with a cane for me kept me from having a great experience.

Ports of call

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
This was a nice port; minimal shops; not much to do without an excursion...wish we had chosen to have done an excursion here.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
A lot of walking; thankfully a golf cart shuttle for special needs. So much to do; not enough time. We had an excursion here and there was still so much more we could have done.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
A lot of walking here as well, we were able to get a wheelchair for me to get to where we needed to be for the excursion, however it was not available for the way back. It was hard on me physically with my cane and limitations. It was still a fun day.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Again, so much to do; not enough time. Our excursion here was just as nice as the Costa Maya port and just as much needing to walk because of only one way help for me physically.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Having to wait forever for a bus while on a cane with no seating available was not a good thing.
