We just got back yesterday and are still feeling that cruise high! The whole trip was amazing. We got on board early to get passes for the Vibe and spent all day Sunday in port on the ship. We used this time to explore and meet some friends. From there the good times didn't stop. The entertainment was incredible, from Burn the Floor to the comedians to the outrageous and offensive (in a good way) Howl at the Moon show, even the lounge/atrium singers were better than on other ships. The pool was nice because it was adults only, but good luck trying to get a seat, people leave their stuff there all day, rude, but we had Vibe passes so when we we wanted to lounge we headed up there and were treated like royalty but the amazing bartender Desiree.

Tropicana was our favorite MDR as it was designed beautifully and never had more than a 20 minute wait for a party of 4 or less. We had the UBP which included everything we wanted and more! We also dined at Moderno, tip if you are going there, come hungry, the food is great! Embarkation was a bit of a nightmare, but that is not really the cruises fault, you get a bunch of people who just finished a vacation all trying to leave at once, ignoring their times and directions from the staff, of course it will get testy and crowded.

We are seriously considering just going on this ship again instead of booking a different vacation, Silas the cruise director was amazing, very funny and entertaining and his whole staff made sure everyone had fun (everyone that was willing, there will always be those complainers that somehow find something wrong with an incredible tropical vacation).

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BC

No complaints here. Was a standard balcony cabin. The room steward was very amazing, made great towel animals, always was smiling, made sure we had everything we needed. The room was never too rocky and was in a great position to enjoy some wonderful views and not near noise from below or above.

Port Reviews

Harvest Caye

Fun but nothing is included. The pool is amazing and definitely worth the visit. The sand on the beach was very gravely and of course the chair hogs crowded most of the beach.

Costa Maya

Went to ruins and the beach, absolutely loved it.

Cozumel

Booked a private tour and absolutely loved it. Had a great tour guide. Highly recommend going out and about all over this island. Unfortunately a couple was left behind there, the captain waited almost an hour but we had to go, so don't be that couple.

Miami

Embarkation was so easy. Very friendly security staff, big open area to wait with lots of coffee and juice. Even got on the ship earlier than 12, so props to the staff for getting things ready that fast.

Roatan

This was port two. The area near the cruise ship is very poor and run down, which is a bit sad, but I guess it's better than being completely taken over by commercial merchants. The people were very friendly when we told them we were going on a private tour, even told us how to find our guides.
