room and balcany and shower were fine, toilet area was extremely small, especially the door to get into the bathroom

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5

main Mexican restaurant in the middle, free music and entertainment watching others dance, can watch dolphins swimming in their pens nearby, shop owners are quite pushy, not much outside of general port area

Don't Miss: ATV's were great, but extremely rocky and hot

Don't Miss: swim with the dolpjins if you can't swim or are a little weary on idea-it's great

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5

Zoo was much better than expected and guide was awesome with his hollar monkey calling. tender boat to get to port was crowded and hot and couldn't wait for it to end, don't plan on much lunch if getting zoo/river package deal

Thumbs Up 0

Don't Miss: boat ride down Belize river going back, beautiful and peaceful

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Scoot coupes were lots of fun, but much smaller than imagined. Need larger seat belts and shorter distance between beach and driving. At restaurant if you order the quesadilla, don't get salsa and chips too, they're free already

Thumbs Up 0

Don't Miss: Try the scoot coupes anyway

Pros: food, friendliness of staff

Cons: tiny bathroom

More than expected for our first cruise
