Review summary

We were satisfied with the trip until the final day and trying to get off the ship and get to the airport in time for our flight. We both commented that it didn't make us want to cruise again any time soon.

Ship tip

Don't sign up for transportation to the airport; it did not happen correctly for us.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
We spent three nights in Doral before boarding the ship.

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
We did the Conch tour twice just to figure out the town; also toured the Truman Little White House.

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
Went into the "town" but there wasn't much to do since we didn't sign up for an excursion.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
There was supposed to be a ride from the ship down the long pier, but there was no driver there. We went to the Ruins and had an excellent guide - Diego.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
We were told the wrong carrousel for retrieving our suitcases, so there was not enough time to wait for the bus which we had arranged through Guest Services and had the $16 amount on our cruise account each. We ended up paying separately for a taxi to get to the airport in time for our flight home. The bus wasn't arriving and there wasn't enough time to wait in that extremely long line.
