Review summary
Had a good time. Food was great. Boarding and unboarding was very quick and efficient. Belize tender took a long time (5 miles from shore). unless you do a tour, the stops are just typical tourist traps but still fun. Our biggest complaint was this- the cruise staff in charge of activities were all from a non English speaking countries and most do not know how to read, write or speak either American or British English. Their attempts to run various games such as trivia or family feud were a disaster. They were unprepared and not familiar with American customs, resulting in a lot of misunderstanding. Communication is their job but they do it very poorly. There also were not very many free activities on the at sea days. Bingo was a bit expensive (39-89).
