7-day cruise out of Port Canaveral with stops in Labadee, Haiti / Falmouth, Jamaica / Georgetown, Grand Cayman / Cozumel, Mexico. Great itinerary - we loved the variety of stops although we had been to Cayman and Cozumel once before.

Embarkation was... ok. They had computer trouble at check in that shut down all computers for periods of time. This slowed embarkation quite a bit. We waited around in the port for about an hour (after waiting in line to check in) before we could board. Once cleared though, it was a breeze.

We were in cabin 7449 (inside). EXCELLENT location near elevators, halfway between pools and dining, and tucked in a quiet hallway away from main traffic. Loved where our cabin was. That said, cabin itself was a bit smaller than expected - certainly smaller than we've had on other cruises (Disney 3X, RCL 1X). We struggled to find space to unpack clothes for three and all week we had stuff laying around the room due to lack of space to put it away. We made it through the week fine though. Cabin was ok, location was excellent.

Port Reviews

Labadee

Had a blast at the Aqua Park. You only get 50 minutes for your session but it is plenty. Tons of things to do and climb on in 50 minutes. Great for the kids. For adults, you need to be fairly able-bodied and active to get on to the inflatables.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Took at taxi to Royal Palms resort (3 miles from port). Rented a beach cabana for the afternoon ($100) and had bar and food service all day on the beach. Beautiful little resort, gorgeous beach, great service. Would do this again in a heartbeat.
