Review summary

We bought the cruise through Groupon and it was a great value we had a balcony cabin that was nice but it was a forward one in a bit bumpy our cabin steward was wonderful as was the crew. Reports were great ports of call with a lot to do. The shore excursions were well organized and as promised.. the only short skirt and I would not do again it is the Belize City Calypso tour it was hard to hear and the traffic around the little train speed exhaust Roatan was our favorite port and it's an absolute beautiful place to visit we went ziplining in Cozumel and it cave park that was outstanding I highly recommend it if you have no walking or health problems the only negative I have to say about the entire trip is the shower could have better water pressure the food on the cruise was good but did not meet our expectations except for the specialty dining I would take this cruise again

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was great there was only one outlet which was a draw back but we were prepared for it the shower could have better water pressure I know is not on the cruise to watch TV but it would help if they have more than four channels

Ship tip

Archiving was far forward and and felt the emotion if you're going to take electronics you're going to need a bus bar to charge the items is only one plug in the cabin halfway through the cruise they have bag of laundry day we can fill a bag of clothes and have it have them wash for $20
