Altun Ha Ruins, Belize
Independence of the Seas from Cozumel, Mexico
Dancin in the Street (70's music).  Tons of fun!

Thought the ship was beautiful. The service was great except for our cabin steward but our cousin's steward was good. I went with my cousin and sister.

Activities were plentiful. Loved the parade and Dancin in the Streets. Ice skating show was incredible. The dancing show was "ok". Heard several comments leaving show by passengers feeling the same. Choreography was not good. Talented dancers but they seemed like they were all on speed. LOL no break in dancing all too fast.

We thought the food in both the windjammer cafe and dining room were very good. Did not eat in any specialty restaurant.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Stayed at the Embassy Suites on 17th street before cruise. Nice hotel, great free breakfast. The grounds were beautiful. Stayed at the Hilton Marina 2 days in corner balcony suite. View was incredible! No free breakfast. Would definitely stay here again. Pool area nice and pool was warm, not freezing like most places.

Belize City

Took Altun Ha Ruins, city tour and River Wallace. All was very interesting. Love the river wallace portion. Saw Howler monkeys, bats, iguanas (big and small), crocodiles and a dolphin. Beautiful scenery. Would take this again.

Weather was a bit humid but not too hot.
