Review summary

The ship was huge and had a lot of activities to do, but there were a lot of people as well on this large ship making doing the activities more difficult.  Because there are so many people it doesn't seem very personal.  The food was good but not great, because again I think they are cooking for way to many people.  This may also be due to the fact it was christmas break.  Maybe not on a holiday would be more enjoyable.  The ports were fun and the weather awesome.  Cabins a little small for 4 people, but great if you only have 2.  Entertainment was fabulous.

It took the whole day but was amazing to see. If you have never been there and don't know if you may get back do go. If you are not much of a water person than it is a great alternative. But Tolume is also amazing if you want to see ruins and still have time for other things inclucing the beach

Would you recommend others going to Citchza Nitza? I assume it took most of the day...
