Embarkation/Debarkation:

We stayed at the Howard Johnson Plaza in Downtown Tampa. I would reccomend this hotel to anyone. Price was right for cruise package, hotel was nice and clean, and they shuttle you anywhere for free so you can party the night before you leave! When we got to the port we were the first in line at about 10:30. At about 11:15 they let us go inside. got our accounts set up very quick and we waited in the lobby for about 30 minutes before we got on board. It was very quick and easy. No problems. We did self assist debarkation and we were off the ship by 9:30. No issues.

Food: Lido food was good. I enjoyed the sandwich station and pizza. We ate in the Dining room every night except for 1 and it was great. I had 2 appetizers and two entrees every night. Cheese cake on first night and melting cake every other night. It was all very good. We had sushi everyday. It was did the job, but not the best I have had. I enjoyed their specialty coffee every morning. In Cayman we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe. Their computers were down so service was slow, but the food was good. In Cozumel we stayed at Nachi Cocom and the food was great. I had the fried mozzarella and chicken tacos. My wife had the nachos and fajitas. No dessert there, too much alcohol! Read more
