Review summary

Having just returned from a 7 day western Caribbean cruise which I loved. I was in Cozumel, Costa Mayo, Roatan, and Harvest Caye. The only port I was disappointed in was Harvest Caye. I understand the port only opened in November, however I'm sure since then there has. I'm sure since then there has been a few cruise ships in so the vendors should have an idea what they should have in stock.  Having said this, that is the nature of my complaint; my cruise arrived early (7AM), so rather than shop then, I decided to go to the pool area first. By the time I started heading back to the ship (around 11AM), many of the vendors (clothing) either had no sizes left or in some cases, empty shelves. In closing, the resort is beautiful and has a lot to offer, so I hope my complaint/comment is shared with the appropriate people so improvements can be done.

Very, and I mean very small. I'm 5'3" and when I got out of bed, I touched the wall!

Ship tip

In general, the Jade is a beautiful ship. I was surprised with the number of power (110 volt) and USB outlets. There were 2 outlets and 3 USB plugins, 2 of which (USB) were by the bed. In closing, my review of the Jade and her staff is excellent.

We were on that same cruise and have just arrived home after the subsequent transatlantic. We were actually impressed with Harvest Caye, cleanliness, space, facilities, etc. Never crossed our mind to purchase anything but a drink or two so the absence of stock in the stores didn't register with us. The resort is a massive improvement on the Belize City alternate.

Remember you were the last to stop at that port until the Fall
