This was our second cruise. First I got the soda drink package. The drink package is not worth it . At New Orleans, the port there was people bringing aboard their own soda in 12 pack's aboard. Check in was quick and getting on the ship was quick. The Venetian (Main Dining Room) was nice service was fast food was good. The Aqua the other free main dining room, service was slow , food so-so ,I was say skip it. The buffet was ok just buffet food. No blue man group the shows was so-so. If you have a drink cup with you in the lounge the waitress will never ask if you need a refill you have to go to the bar and get your own soda. And there is a 18 % tip added to your bar bill also. Most beers cost 5.50 , mixed drinks runs arounds 6.95 to 10.00 plus 18 % tip. Also Cozumel (Mexico); not to bad to walk near the port area, Belize City (Belize); this place was to seedy to go past the gates, Roatan Bay Islands (Honduras); Here we went outside the gate to straw market ,my advice DON'T do it , this place is super seedy . Costa Maya . not to bad if you are going to the beach by a tour. Also bring your own water has its cost $$ for bottled water on the ship.
