This was our first visit to the Caribbean which was thoroughly enjoyable (other regular Caribbean travellers had different opinions) During our cruise, we did a part transition of the Panama Canal. This was a wonderful experience. We will definitely do the Caribbean again.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Easy and Straight forward. Although there was a shortage of Porters on arrival at the dock so we moved our own luggage to the loading point.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our cabin was acceptable for us. Due to the duration of our cruise, we did find it a little short of storage space. The cabin steward (Jason) was a very concehentious person who stepped up to each request made immediately.
We only ventured as far as the immediate area, we didn’t do an excursion on this occassion. We walked to the local church only to find that it was derelict and the gates chained up.
The dockside complex at Costa Maya is fantastic with a bar side beach/swimming area. The opportunity to swim with dolphins is also available within the complex as well as plenty of restaurants and shops.
Unfortunately today it rained and boy did it rain. We did go on a shore excursion to the East of the island but due to the inclement weather some of the views were restricted. The dockside complex was fantastic with cable cars and beach area. However, due to the rain not a lot was seen.
