Loved the location, central to everything, liked footstools, quiet, near library and elevators.
Lots of storage...I'm an overpacker and other than needing extra hangers had more than enough room.  No complaints

Much easier than going through Miami with its horrendous traffic.

Went to snorkel at Eden Rock in Grand Cayman.  Just walked the few blocks from ship, seeing shopping area enroute.  Unfortunately, the weather was rainy and didn’t see nearly as many fish there as we did on our last visit to Paradise Grill area right next store to them  a few years ago.   We did see a huge spotted flounder which was nice though.Snorkeling Chankanaab National Park this Year was so much better.

Thoroughly enjoyed our prearranged trip with Dora in Cartagena Columbia.  Thanks for arranging, Steve!  The walled city was beautiful as were the other stops.  Would have liked more time to shop in the dungeon area though.  Dora bought the group some fresh fruit which was really delicious, especially in the high humidity/heat of Cartagena.  Could have skipped the time at Emerald Shop stop

Panama – Toured privately with Robtad’s.  When we arrived Roberto, the owner, told me we would be with another guide which worried me a bit since I had read so much about him.  He informed me that our guide, Edwin Miranda Gurro, would be better than him.  Edwin was extremely knowledgeable and fun and we were extremely happy with him.  A great day…Thanks to Carl for arranging our tour.
Thankfully, we had just enough time to see a huge cargo ship approach the lock, watch the water level change and the gates open.  Amazing.  I really wasn’t thrilled about going to the locks initially, thinking it would be slow and boring…NOT.
The rest of the tour to various spots in Panama City was also fun and amazing.  We tried to stop for a local lunch enroute back to the ship.  However, traffic was crazy due to upcoming holidays and a parade so the group voted to pass on lunch.

Costa Rica was probably our favorite port this trip.  We used William Guerrero/Luis Martin’s private tour with Carlos as our guide.    We stopped frequently along the way and saw amazing red tree frogs, green tree frogs, little ants carrying leaves, a paprika pod, a Ylang-Ylang leaf which smells like Chanel No. 5.  Saw many sloths and other wildlife on the Tortuguero Canal boat trip.   I had arranged this tour and was hoping my cruisemates enjoyed it.  Glad that it was fun

Visited Blue Kay Beach Club which I had read about on Cruise Critic.   Took  $2 taxi back and forth.  You can also take an open air bus for $3.   We somehow missed where to board it though so taxi was fine.  No charge to visit there although they do expect you to buy food or drinks.  Pina Colada was awful. Local beer and nachos good.  Walked the Malecon, passing various beach clubs.  Great beach day.  Shallow, clear water.

Snorkeled our favorite spot in Chankanaab National Park the next day. So worth the $22 pp fee. ($2 coupon at their site).  Split a cab with another couple so just $6 to get there.  $12 for just 2 of us to return to port.  Nice molded or wooden chairs with tiki hut umbrellas/tables included.  Extremely clean.
Saw a seal show in Spanish which was really nice.
Adventure of the cruise….There are so many fish, small and large, very close to the  easy entry steps to water at this amazing Park.  We would never miss this Park at Cozumel.  Best snorkeling ever except  in an area we visited on a catamaran near Buck Island years ago.  I had read that if one brings dog biscuits to draw the fish, your snorkeling would be even better.  
So I put some dog biscuits in my snorkel vest and open it a bit to take one out to put in my hand to break up occasionally while snorkeling.  Wrong move!  In a few seconds we were totally surrounded by fish, some pretty large.  Beautiful, but they started swimming under our arms, over our heads, up our backs, etc.   I dropped the biscuit that was in my hand, but of course they still could smell them in my vest!  It felt like we actually were in a bucket of fish.  Both of us were bitten a bit (not seriously), but knew it was time to get to shore and get rid of the dogbiscuits and clean vest out. (Later on that day on our ship someone told me that feeding fish in the islands is not permitted)
We later headed out again and snorkeled along the beach very far.  Fabulous…Lots of colorful fish including some big schools of them.  
Headed to the lagoon area at the Park and saw two iguanas which I love.  Also saw some huge crocodiles in their exhibit.
Had the most delicious salsa, chips and fish tacos of my life at their beach restaurant along with some light Tekante beer.  Great, friendly service also.
