The staff and bartenders were amazing (especially those at the casino or alchemy bars). The food in bacchus and lido was a little underwhelming overall; however, the private chefs table was fantastic and the steakhouse was probably one of the best meals I have ever eaten...not to mention the pizza being fantastic and open all the time. Comedy club acts were great, shows were pretty good. Frankie and the rest of the staff did a great job. Overall one amazing trip.

All of the ports were great. I was disappointed with how they handled a river in Belize making it impossible to get to our Xunantunich excursion. They waited to tell us it had to be canceled after riding an early morning tender over, right before boarding the bus. Options were take their offer of full price transfer to another site 2 hrs away (but not the amazing xunantunich ruins) or head back to the ship. If they had told us earlier we could have slept in a bit and done one of the other ruins excursions or another excursion all together. We still had fun, but disappointed in how that was handled.

Be sure no matter what you do that you do some excursion (carnival or private) where you visit sting ray city in the grand cayman. Yes it was crowded...but you HAVE to visit. That was an amazing experience that you will treasure.

Extended Balcony

Bathroom was small, but what cruise bathroom isn’t. Room was spacious, balcony was awesome.

Port Reviews

Roatan

Took the lift down to beach. Very commercialized but filled the time.

Cozumel

Cozumel was great, we left the port village and turned left. There is a open air restaurant on the corner almost directly across from margaritaville that blares 80-90s rap, but had the best food...octopus faijitas. Then we got on a horse drawn carriage, be careful as this was an experience and rates and expectations need to be discussed. All in all we had fun, but afterwards made us wish we had done a beach club or excursion.
