Started off in Tampa FL. Boarding was quick and simple. About 30-45 minutes from arrival to on board. Rooms not available upon boarding, so headed upstairs for lunch. Pretty much the normal craziness of first day buffet discoveries. Tables were scarce, but we eventually found one. Room was balcony view and was clean. Our suitcases arrived quickly and we were unpacked by the muster drill.

1st day at sea was very nice. Weather was warm and sunny during entire trip. 2nd day we were in Grand Cayman. We did the Stingray City, Turtles, and Hell tour. I was nervous about the Stingrays, but soon was relieved to find it was a great adventure. Turtles were cool to see and Hell was a quick five minute picture/post card stop. Definely not worth going to alone. Also tour guide stopped by the 7 mile beach for a photo opp. Very nice beach. 3rd day we were in Cozumel. We did the Twister and Isla Passion beach excursion. Beautiful beach, food was included and yummy. Drinks also included. Twister boat was scary at first, but found it fun as it went on. 3rd day we were in Belize. We did the River Wallace and Mayan Ruin excursion. It was very nice. Hot and boat didn't have any shade. We seen crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, etc. It was pretty cool. It was way hot and the bus ride to Mayan Ruins was down a long dirt road. I got car sick from the ride. 4th day we were in Roatan. We did the Discover Roatan excursion. It was okay, not my favorite. Glad we seen the town, but wished we had another tour guide or company. The tour guide personality was that of a slug. I asked others on the excursion and they agreed. They stopped for a typical "Roatan dancer" show, and even the dancers were unhappy and boring. Normally tour guides are upbeat and get you pumped up, this lady was a drag and was not enticing at all. I again got car sick in the small van we were riding in. It wasn't bad on the drive starting, because we stopped every few minutes to look at something or see the dancers, boat ride, etc. But on the way back we didn't stop and I was so heated and nausious, I couldn't wait to get out of the van. I ended up closing my eyes, fanning myself with my hubby's ball cap and got out in time to stabilize. The road is very curvy and stop/go. Last day at sea was nice. We got rain in the afternoon and waters were rocky which rocked the boat alot. The food at the Truffles restaurant was very good each night. The service was wonderful by dinner staff and all staff we encountered on the ship. The room attendant was very nice and kept our room up to par and met us with chocolates and towel animals each night. Very nice. The ship was well kept. Shows we attended most nights and were well done. Nice to see four singers instead of the average 1-2 on other ships. Loved the New Orleans show, well done! Costumes were great. We arrived in Tampa in the morning and were off by 9:30. We checked our baggage the night prior and it was waiting for us when we got off the ship. A great vacation. Loved the Cozumel port the best for shopping and just cleanliness. Great deals on imitation handbags in Belize. A trip we'll never forget.
