It fit our time slot We were an intergenerational group of 8 and we were looking for a safe and interesting space for older teens to enjoy and experience. The pool is of course noisy with lots of music for the pool group. There is plenty of deck area to run, walk and,generally, enjoy the shade. We liked the heterogeneous ages, cultures, and ethnicities on board as well as the competent staff. The Cozumel Ruins trip requires a 45 minute bumpy ferry ride, a walk in the mid-day heat thru the resort town to the buses and then a bus ride to the ruins that takes a total of 5 hours with a mediocre bagged lunch. The ruins are of course interesting but very crowded. We would have had a much more pleasant trip had we remained on the ship. The food is very good in all the restaurants of the ship.
