Sail Date: Dec 2018

The GOOD: Kudos to Ahmed, Restauant Supervisor, who personally extended himself to be sure my dietary restrictions were met . The spa, gym, Meet & Mingle, cooking class, all outstanding! The cabin, crew, Wi-Fi and amenities on the ship were great.

The BAD: Only a few hours in most ports so not enough time to really see or do on Turquoise Caribbean.

The Ugly: The excursion.vendors frantic to get you back to the ship on time so we felt herded, elementary school field trip, not a travel experience. Key West was a joke, suggest you just walk off the ship and grab a taxi. The snorkeling in Belize was disappointing; Coral was bleached, very few fish, and then forced to go to the port in wet bathing suit instead of directly back to the ship, very wired. Celestun only spent 9 minutes seeing the flamingos; nice lunch at a pretty beach, the stop at the park should be omitted.

Cabin Review

Excellent

Port Reviews

Key West

What a joke, can’t see why they stop there except to pick up the passengers who missed their connection. Only thing to do is to grab a taxi or walk into town. Have to be back at the ship at 2 o’clock.

Cozumel

We took a taxi into town and went through some of the shops, only to find that they were also at the port. Too short a day to really do anything memorable.
