First off....Priority is the only way to go! We booked a Ocean Suite and of course we are Gold Card holders so we loved that we got the Priority! It was myself, my husband and our daughter (7 years old). We arrived at the port at around 10:45am and I swear we stood in NO LINE at all!! We walked through, got checked in, got our cards and were on the ship within 10 Minutes!! Wow!! Very Impressed!! There was no one on the ship yet. We went straight to Guys Burgers and Fries and got ourselves something to eat without any line!! We then explored the ship. Very nice! We've been on it's sister ship, The Breeze, so we knew what to expect from this ship. We weren't disappointed at all!! Our rooms weren't ready until around 2:30pm. When we went to our room, an Ocean Suite Room, Wow!!! (#7365) What a Room!! Very Large!! And the bathroom is Huge!! Can't go wrong with an awesome balcony!! And, our luggage was already inside our room waiting on us, loved that! That night supper was Great, just as we remembered from past cruises.

Sea Days.... They were Great! Lots of Sunshine and fun in the water park area! We enjoyed some of the games and entertainment around the ship. These days were basically lazy days, and loved watching the waves go by!!

Cozumel..... We booked an excursion with Shore Excursioneer. We went to the Playa Mia Beach Resort. We purchased the package with the Day Pass, Buffet and Open Bar Package: which included: Admission to Playa Mia park, all amenities and activities PLUS all you can eat buffet PLUS open bar all you can drink with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We had a blast here!! Yes, I'd recommend going here, and Yes!! We'd go back!! There was hardly anyone there when we went. Serious I think us, and about 30 other people in this whole big resort area! There were 2 huge pools, water slides, a wipe out course out in the ocean, food everywhere, alcohol (all you can drink), people giving massages, pedicures, and more, and shopping!! There were lots of lounge chairs everywhere!! And at no charge! This place was amazing! And, my husband and I both got massages, for only $35 each (by the pool) and YES! totally worth it!!

Cabin Review

Ocean Suite

Ocean Suite #7365. Loved our Room! It was VERY HUGE!! We loved our big, big balcony! The bathroom was also HUGE!! We had plenty, plenty of space!! Lots of storage also! The location was GREAT also from getting to all the places on the ship. Loved that the vanity area was separate from the room!! Loved the 2 sinks in the bathroom!! Loved the Jetted Huge Tub/Shower!! This room as Amazing!! I'd book it again in a heart beat! Well worth the money!!

Port Reviews

Roatan

Very small port, and we were ported with another ship and it made it really, really crowded!! We made the best of being here, my husband and daughter swam in the pool area and we had some very good tasting nachos and salsa. The wind was really blowing this hot day so that made it better! The pool had bubbles all in it, never seen that before. Pretty cool. This port is okay. It is under construction right now also and with 2 ships at port made it for a crowded day!
