Sail Date: Mar 2016
Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony
Traveled with children

We traveled in a group of 15 with the youngest being 10 and the oldest 70. We had balcony rooms and had an amazing time. My only complaint is that the common areas were too small in places such as the Medusa or the Atrium. The theater is gorgeous and the shows were spectacular. Elements is NOT to be missed. We've seen a lot of Broadway shows and halfway through Elements, we were all looking at each other saying, "I can't believe we are seeing this on a cruise ship!" Also, comedian David Naster is top notch if you are lucky enough to have a sailing that includes him.

We did not eat in any specialty restaurants although some in our party chose to do so. They enjoyed it. The rest of us opted for the Grand Pacific nearly every evening and it was wonderful. We enjoyed our Ultimate Beverage Packages for the adults and soda packages for the kids. Pepsi products were a bit of a bummer as the kids really missed Dr. Pepper. They aren't allowed sodas at home and had been looking forward to unlimited DP on the ship.

Spinnakers was a great place to hang out when it was too windy to be by the pool.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

Excellent! We were not on top of each other as we feared. Our rooms connected. The only downside was that our balcony was inaccessible when all four beds were in use

Roatan

Gumbalimba is always a treat for the kids. They love handling the monkeys and the monkeys are so silly.

Cozumel

We drove the entire island and got to see everything. Lunch was included and it was wonderful. This was the best beach of our entire trip and the surprise tequila tasting was so amazing! Who knew it could taste so good?!

Belize City

We spent the morning at the ruins and the kids were even interested. Then, we traveled to an authentic Belizean lunch and a river tour where we saw howler monkeys, iguana, crocodile, manatees, etc.

We stayed at a nearby hotel the night before we left and enjoyed the Kemah Boardwalk.
