Xplore - All inclusive Adventure 
Awesome!! The only bad thing to be said is that we didn't have enough time to do all the activities. 
Picked up by a bus and driven to the park. You can pick what order you want to do the activities in. I would suggest starting with the ziplines because they got really busy in the afternoon. There are two different sets and you will get wet on both. Really wet so make sure not to wear running shoes. We wore our water shoes at all areas and found this to be best. You can do some of the lines in tandem which was really cool. There is a ton of walking and climbing for this. I wouldn't suggest it if you are not in reasonable good shape. I was huffing and puffing. 
Next we did lunch. It was ok. Hamburgers, hot dogs and salads mostly. 
And then we swam through the caves. We went with a man who couldn't swim and he made it through with little difficulty. They give you life jackets and most of it you can touch bottom. There are exits throughout if needed. It was a lot of fun but cold!! 
Next we did canoe through caves. This was pretty cool. You don't have to go too fast so it's low activity level. 
We didn't have time to do the little cars. We needed another hour to make it perfect. 
Tip: Look out for all the photo opportunities. If you want to buy a disk it's a better deal if you have all the pics taken. 



Cozumel

Chacchoben Mayan Ruins. 
This was pretty cool. It was about an hour drive in and out. They make it sound like you can go in the ruins but you can't. You can climb some though. The area was very picturesque. A lot of uneven walking. Some older folks couldn't make it through the whole thing. Pretty easy for those in moderate shape. 


Costa Maya

Rainforest Lagoon Kayaking. 
This was quite nice. It's a pretty leisurely pace so 1 1/2 hours is doable. I don't have a lot of upper body strength so I wouldn't want it too much longer. We saw sloth, iguanas and a bunch of different birds. The guides were good at pointing out things. You got a little container of fruit at the end. 
Where you dock at Puerto Limon and drive through to get to the Kayaking is very poor and dirty. A little shocking. Not set up for tourists at all. 
Would recommend booking an excursion here. 


Puerto Limon

Monkey Watch 
There is an hour drive to this excursion and back. It is through extremely run down areas. Would recommend booking an excursion here. 
We saw quite a few monkeys at 1 area. Some were coming right in the boat. Pretty cool. Very short time actually 'monkey watching' though. 



Colon (Cristobal)

Deluxe Cartagena and Fortress 
Nothing much caught my fancy in Cartagena so we did this one. It turned out to be one of my favorites. You see everything there is to see and get to shop too if that's your thing. 
Some in my party were turned off by the amount of people around trying to sell you things everywhere you turned. I found if you politely smiled and said no thank you they left you alone. 
Had our picture taken holding a sloth from some guy at the mall. Was the best $2 I ever spent:) 
A lot of walking and very hot. 


Cartagena (Colombia)

Catamaran Sail and Snorkel 
They call it a 2 stop snorkel but the 1st stop is at a brand new boat that has been sunk. Nothing much to see yet. 
The second stop is at a reef and it was really good. Saw a wide variety of fish. They have a cash bar so bring a few dollars. 
You can get a bus straight back or you can hang out on the beach after and take a cab back. 


Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

We stayed in a suite on our last cruise and wanted to see if it's something we really need to do to have a great experience. It isn't. Our room was just as big as a balcony room. Has the exact same storage space etc. 
Was it as good as the suite? Of course not, but it was definitely comfortable and a lot cheaper.

The only thing that I should mention is the cracking noises. The ship moved quite a bit and on most nights there was a weird groaning/crackling noise from the walls. I can't explain it but it's very loud. Maybe because it doesn't have outside walls?? 

Wish the couch was a little smaller to be able to get at the closet better. To reach the most storage you need to stand on the bed. If you are unable to do this you'll loose out on a lot of space.

It is good to keep in mind that if you're eating breakfast at a main time (9-10) you're best to order room service because it's packed!!!The circus one was pretty good and a couple of the extra acts were good but the majority of the ship acts were not worth sitting through.
