I really enjoyed having a balcony, it was a nice addition to the cruise, and once you are out on the open sea, it is a relaxing feature. 
Our room steward was great, and cleaned up after a toddler and a messy roommate the entire trip!
We stayed in room 11202, with a balcony. I liked the room very much, it had a nice sized closet to store clothes, with a shelf and a large bathroom with two sinks! 
After reading another review, we asked our steward to remove the drinks from the mini fridge and stocked it with our own water bottles and gatorade, which wasn't a problem.

Cozumel - did not do any excursions in cozumel but instead spent the day wandering around the stores and bar and such. Family walked around I hung out in Senior Frogs the entire day, where there was air conditioning, music, entertainment and cheap drinks! I got a huge bowl sized frozen drink for about 9 US.

Costa Maya - 
(Side Note: Once you leave the ship there is a nice shopping area, with a pool and sunbathing chairs at this port, had no idea that was going to be there. But we did not stay too long there, besides for some shopping after our tour.)
Found a tour operator through cruise critic website for a company called" Native Tours Costa Maya" you can google it, we booked through them because their reviews were so good on trip advisor! 
We booked the tour for the Chaccoben ruins and the blue lagoon tour (just checked the website, not sure they are offering this particular tour anymore sorry) Anyhow, you have to leave the port area and walk a bit outside of it to get to the tour headquarters, and it was the end of may in Mexico so it was hot. Took about 10-15 mins. But once we got there they had a man handing out waters while we waited for our tour bus to load, and got our wristbands. 
You have to drive for a bit, i believe it was about an hour, but its almost a straight shot there, then there is a little market area with local people selling touristy items before you see the ruins  (beware they are more expensive than by the port) but you can always negotiate and they are pretty good about that. 
Toured the grounds of the ruins, and got to do so at our own pace, but our tour guide Rosa was awesome, she was very knowledgable and friendly! She would let us look around then tell us some info about the place. You get to see the big pyramid, and the area where they used to live, and two other smaller pyramids! Really cool!
Someone from the company carries around cold waters while on the tour to hand out to us all during it, which was an amazing feature! I didn't see anyone from other groups getting ice cold water on that blazing hot day! 
Once we were done there, we took a short bus ride, to the blue lagoon (although we weren't sure where we were going because you turn down a dusty side road and that takes about 20 mins to get to the actual location) but once you get there! Holy cow, it's beautiful! 
We had lunch, which was amazing, it was a make your own taco sort of thing, rice and beans, that included drinks (beer, pina colada, and liquor i believe). 
Once you are done eating you go down to the water and hang out, they have kayaks and all types of things you can use for free, but we just hung out and took it easy. Not a lot of lounge chairs but enough for the amount of people that were there. 
The water was gorgeous and it was the perfect end to an amazing day.

Belize City -
Booked our Cave Tubing and Zipling tour through the ship.The local company is called "Chukkah" tours. This was a great trip! Cannot say enough about it, definitely a must for the adventurer in you! My sister and I did this trip (late 20s). 
First off, it took a while to get the show on the road, disembark take a 15-20 minute ferry ride over to the port, then gather everyone together. Also, the bus ride to the location took an hour both ways, but that being said it is totally worth it! The busses are tricked out school buses, with air conditioning. Also the tour guides talk to you on the way there, so it wasn't boring. 
Once you arrive to the site you have to take a switch busses to get over the giant hill to get to the actual location but that is less than 5 minutes. There they decide whether you will do the cave tubing or zip lining first. We did cave tubing first. 
Cave tubing - you get a helmet with a  light (mine somehow broke while in the cave), and a tube, take a 20 minute trek carrying your raft (carry it on your head if your arms get tired), make sure you are wearing shoes you don't mind getting wet, and then you will arrive at the entrance to the cave, and the guide will tie your rafts together then you set on your adventure. It was awesome! It lasted about 45 mins i believe. 
Zip Lining - Once you are done you take a short break and change if you need to and get ready for the zip lining portion. You trek up the mountain a bit, not too much, they give you a brief safety demonstration and then you are off. There were 5 lines which you descend until you reach the bottom again. 
Lunch is included and was delicious but make sure you bring some cash, for the bar and/or some homemade tacos that are for sale (and amazing). Also they take pictures of you on the zip lining portion, which you can purchase afterwards if you want. 
On the way back we all slept and it was magnificent. Totally worth it!!

Roatan, Maya Key - 
This was the first stop on our cruise, we booked a shore excursion through the ship to go to Maya Key. 
The whole family went (4 adults and 1 toddler)  It was a short boat ride to the private island, and it included lunch and two tours of the island, chairs and beach access. They have pay for Wifi here, $10 for the whole day.
The island was gorgeous. They have an animal sanctuary on the island, which consists of rescued animals, which we loved. We did the tour of the animals, and then we also got to go into the monkeys cage and feed them, they are very friendly and will jump right on your head. There were lots of birds, ocelots, a cougar, a pig, alligators, and many other animals. 
We had lunch included, it was served at the pool area which was really nice and shaded. The lunch itself was okay, rice cooked in coconut milk, fried fish or chicken, salad, and plantain (green banana) chips. 
They also had a recreation of some mayan ruins, which I thought was pretty neat. So you could kind of imagine how it actually looked in their time. As well, they had a small museum with replicas of some mayan objects. 
Then we played in the ocean for a bit and then it was time to get back to the ship! Overall, really enjoyed it, there were not a lot of people, and plenty of space to put our things, didn't have any problems with leaving our things on the chairs, while we explored.

We are from Miami, no need to take a tour for us.

Miami

Shanghai's noodle Bar - decent asian food, don't get the chicken broth bowl though, this one is included but you'll have to wait because it is very small (also it is located in the middle of the casino area for those that care)

O'Sheehan's - ate here at lunch before disembarking, it was just okay.Had a nice little bar, some seating area, lots of lounge chairs and this cool grotto type water thing (only thing i can think to call it) that was nice if you wanted to cool off.
