Cabin: Family Inside

I booked this cruise at the last minute going to Cozumel, Belize and Roatan. All places that I had been before. Since I booked at the last minute, I got an inside stateroom -- booking an accessible stateroom because I know they are bigger than the standard rooms.

The ship was in fairly good condition but it definitely could use a renovation. I believe it's been in service for 10 years now. All of the public areas were in great condition, however, my stateroom did need some renovations. The carpets were a bit dirty and it appears that perhaps the shower had leaked at some point and damaged the carpet by the door. The only other thing that would have been nice, is more/better lighting in the inside cabins. The lights were low wattage.

There were a variety of excursions available to meet everyone's needs or wants. I did a tequila tasting excursion, a snorkeling excursion and a day at the beach. It was my first time snorkeling and I definitely enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the water was a bit rough....and the excursion operator had to take us to a different area which was very shallow. This made it a bit difficult to swim/snorkel because you had to be very careful of the coral -- you could easily "scrape bottom" because it was so shallow.
