Traveled with children
I travelled with my husband and two sons ages 6 and 8. We spent two days at Lego Land pre-cruise (fabulous by the way), spent the night in Lakeland then returned our rental car to the airport. We took Uber from the airport to port which was only $13 total for 4 of us, much cheaper than any shuttle and still lower than a taxi.
Embarkation went very smoothly. We had an 11:30 check-in time and showed up pretty much right on time. We were on the ship eating lunch by 12:15.
Rooms were open around 1pm and our cabin steward Edy was very pleasant.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
Cabin 6C
Our ocean view cabin was pretty standard. My children prefer to each have a bunk bed, but this cabin only had one bunk and a roll-away bed/cot was the fourth sleeping area. It was really quiet, although I've never had a loud cabin. Proximity to the stairs was good as well as the MDR, Comedy Theatre and ice cream machine.
Port Reviews

Very good embarkation
Costa Maya
Same old, same old port although you can watch dolphins or swim in the pool
