Cabin: Mini-Suite with Balcony

We loved this cruise.

The boat was lovely and we had a balcony room, which meant we didn't have to battle it out to get a good spot by the pool on sea days.

In terms of the ports...Santa Marta wasn't amazing and Belize....well we were so disappointed with the tour guides at the port. We waited for a tour to leave...only to find out there were not enough people on it. They kept us waiting so long there were no other tours to go on and we had to go via private taxi to see some of the Mayan ruins. These particular guides had orange shirts. They were rude and unprofessional, so avoid these if you can. Ask what time and if they keep delaying, go somewhere else.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Really beautiful and large room. We even had a bath tub and seperate toilet. Loved this room.

Port Reviews

Colon (Cristobal)

Not much here. I wouldn't even get off the boat next time.

Roatan

Routan - it rained /stormed so not much for us to do, as the main attraction is the beaches . Still a lovely port through.

Belize City

Don't go to the tour company at the port with the orange shirts - they completely messed us around, were unprofessional and rude. They made us wait then cancelled our tour, long after we were suppose to leave. Terrible experience.

Alton Ha was great, but we were disappointed with Belize overall because of the way we were treated by the tour guides at the port.

Costa Maya

We got out of that touristy port area right away, went to the closest beach, and it was great. It rained but the water was warm, the people were friendly and it was a great stop.

Puerto Limon

Go enjoy the sunshine and ocean!

Miami

Miami - we stayed at south beach - great fun. We just uber'd to the port when the cruise started.
