Review summary

Boarding in Tampa was almost instant, walked right on ! Tampa was extremely cold

that day, so nobody n the pool, food and drinks and Jamaican band were great.

Enjoyed the Mayan ruins out of Costa Maya, used a private tour company and they were fantastic. Cozumel is ok for shopping. Great snorkeling at the Honduran island  at the Blue Channel. The private island has a real nice pool and beach, but remember the concessions are ran by local companies and you must pay separately.

Food on the ship was top notch, especially enjoyed dressing for dinner in the Grand Pacific. The Alozar didn't have the dress code but did have the same menu.

also enjoyed the Asian restaurant.

the buffet was also great , and we liked the Carribean inspired lunch poolside.

The shows are not to be missed, especially the Russian acrobats and the ships own doing the "boot" show. I thought the magicians and the comedian were on

y so-so.

The lounge acts were also good as was the easy musicians in the atrium and especially Barry the piano man.

We also used the gym and had the spa package, which I suspect my wife enjoyed more than I did.
