Loved the first experience worth it to upgrade for the penthouse suite. Gave great priority access for embankment, ports and disembarkment. Didn't have to worry about getting to tenders or off ship in time for excursions. Enjoyed room service, afternoon treats delivered to our room and the speciality dining. Our Butler Roy and Concierge Cristropher went above to make it a memorable event. We enjoyed our steward Monchul's added towel creations as well as keeping our room tidy and fully stocked. Would have like to know to bring something to carry the key card for the kids like lanyards. Also if didn't book ship excursions its easy and affordable to book once off the ship and out of the terminal. We brought our own snorkel gear so easy to grab a taxi and find a great place to snorkel.

The entertainment was good for the size of ship and their was something for everyone. Enjoyed the freestyle but didn't feel out of place if you were dressed up for the evening. There was only one pool and it wasn't very big for the amount of passengers. The teen club was of little interest to our teenagers as it was small and had two foosball tables that weren't put together properly, boardgames and a couple wii stations. Had to book the speciality dining the first couple days as they booked up quick. But overall we would book with this cruise line again.

Port Reviews

Roatan

Didn't know what to expect so walked out of terminal and hired a taxi to take us to bay to snorkel. Went to Half moon Bay and enjoyed a quiet place that felt very secure and relaxing. The water was clear and warm and got to see lots of fish. Brought our own gear but could rent gear there.

Belize City

Amazing from start to finish but be prepared to be on the water for over 5 hours. Splash wave tours - captain James and crew Leon were great.

Costa Maya

Walked out of terminal and hired taxi to go snorkeling went to yaya beach club. Didn't cost anything to get a beach chair and umbrella but the cost of drinks and any food ordered which were reasonable. Rocky was a great server and made our visit enjoyable.

Cozumel

Walked out of terminal and hired a taxi and went to sky reef resort - great snorkeling spot that was only the cost of food and drink which was affordable.

Tampa

Easy terminal and the porters are very helpful
