We were to cruise with several family members in May on this same cruise. A few days before we were to leave my husband was hospitalized. Yes, we were thankful for the trip insurance. The only downfall is the same cruise a month later cost more money. My husband isn't able to walk long distances, so we were planning on taking his mobility scooter. This is what caused me the most uncertainty. We drove to Galveston, so we didn't have to deal with the flying issue. I have to say everything went wonderful for us. The scooter for thru the door fine. The biggest issue was the elevators, even if we didn't have the scooter we would face that. We did an excursion in Jamaica and had a wheelchair van take us. In Grand Cayman we shopped. He was able to get around just fine. The tender has a ramp and he was able to just drive on. The streets were cut out and most of the ships had ramps. We did take a taxi and went to a few places. The scooter is small and folders up, so the driver put it in the taxi easily. In Cozemul, we just stayed in the port shopping and had no problem. All on all, we both had a good time and felt that things be accessible with the scooter was part of the trip being so successful.

Great room. Would stay there again. We did feel a lot of movement a few nights, but also felt it in other places of the ship. The room was quiet!

The staff was very helpful with the luggage, mobility scooter and giving us directions on where to go to park.
