Sail Date: Apr 2009
Cabin: Family Balcony

Embarkation: easy! Taxi to the port from airport, $30. Drop off bags with ships porters, hop in line, get a number, get photo, wait about 30 min... onboard the ship with champagne in hand!

Ship: yeah, a few little things are aging, but aren't we all? I considered most of it just merely cellulite on an otherwise bikini-ready body. Loved the size, the non-smoking public areas, the quiet zones in the front of the ship on upper outside decks, the Columbian Emeralds store on board. I thought the showroom was a little small and missed having more table seating on the main floor. Would have expected the windows to be a little more squeaky-clean, too, but you could still see out them better than most of the windows on my house.

Cabin: balcony, deck 11, aft. Great location for dashing upstairs for buffet snacks and bringing back down to room while getting ready in morning or before dinner. Starboard side location was great for watching docking procedures in Costa Maya, the pilot jumping on and off in Guatemala, and sailing into Cozumel. Balcony was nice to sit on and listen to the iPod while at sea (got sun on the balcony!) Loved sticking my head outside every night while sailing to see the full moon and stars. Southern Cross! Only drawback - two decks up were basketball courts, so had some pounding while the kids played hoops - not enough to deter me from a nap, but bothered hubby a little. Put the suitcases under the bed and packed up the dirty clothes as we went along... saved time and space and kept the room tidy.

Family Balcony

Cabin B3

Two decks below the basketball courts, so you will hear playing on sea days and later afternoons in port.
