I chose this one to see new places. We originally scheduled a December cruise, but then granddaughter found out her school finals were going to be that week, so we changed to after her high school graduation in May to go. I knew beforehand that I would have obstacles as I am now wheelchair-bound and it was an older ship (ADA compliant 20%).

I wait to book an excursion after onboard - In trying to get an excursion booked, it was explained that there was a bus with lift in the ports, however there had to be 5 wheelchaired or scootered bodies before they would call it to the dock. I was the only one - of 3 & 4 different ships docked at the ports same time that ours was. So I couldn't go to any beach and swim again in those beautiful azure waters.

Hubby and I ventured off ship to the shops built off the docks, and enjoyed roaming - as much as could access - onboard. Food was good - we ate at both our assigned dining room and off the Lido Deck buffet bars We enjoyed the shows onboard The comedy was ok. Service was great - for our cabins and also the dining room and buffet bars.

Cabin Review

Interior

Cabin was fine (we aren't ones to spend much time there). Being one for wheelchaired body, the shower was a bonus for hubby - he could keep standing up totally. Being right beside an elevator, the sounds of it operating didn't hinder our sleeping in that cabin a bit.

we roamed thru the shops that were beside the dock

Cozumel

we roamed thru the shops built near the docks. Daughter and Granddaughter did a stingray encounter which they very much enjoyed.
