Review summary

Enjoyed cruise. Time to relax. Didn't do much but read and people watched, Staff in all areas was outstanding except for one waiter. Met couple from Florida and enjoyed developing new friendship. Jasmine Garden meal was not especially enjoyable, all food except rice came at once. Entree was cold by the time I was able to eat it. Waiter appeared more interested in freeing table instead of us enjoying meal. Waiting area for boarding seemed unorganized. Many passengers standing and walking area to board ship was blocked due to limited space and seating.

Walked to town center. Met young Roatan resident at dock exit gate. He shared history/culture about Roatan as we walked. Very enjoyable.

We loved Jasmin garden!! I guess everyone had a different experience. I would give it a try. It was one of our favorite meals.

I loved le Bistro, the French restaurant. The pork meal was exceptional as well as the escargot as an appetizer. Dessert was also to die for....chocolate napoleon. Don't miss it.
