We did the Turquoise bay all inclusive deep sea fishing . Hubby caught 2 large barracuda and I caught a small blue fin tuna. Fun time! Then we went for lunch at the resort , and relaxed a bit before going back to the ship.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Not real impressed with Costa Maya. Water was not real clean looking, and the vendors in port were pushy.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did salsa, salsa, and margaritas ! Went to a 5 star resort, made 6 kinds of salsa, guacamole, pico, and 2 flavors of margaritas! Then we learned to salsa dance! Sooo much fun! We were given the recipes to bring home.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We love the laid back feel of Labadee, and we’re a little leary of Coco Cay ..BUT- it was amazing !!! We had a beach bed on chill island with 2 loungers and a cooler full of water. Lunch was great, staff so accommodating, and we really enjoyed it. Water park is a must for families with kids! The straw market was so nice and venders were not the least bit pushy. They have us a send off with a drum band and dancers as we left port :)

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Tip: get a porter after you find your luggage. We were on the bus to the airport in 15 min tops!
