My wife and I and another couple sailed out of Tampa in January. We drove up to Tampa from Port Charlotte and used the valet parking which got us to Faster to the Fun even faster.
Our cabin (8192) was ready but our bags did not arrive until after the safety drill. Not a big deal.
All four of us had the drink package. At a little over $100 per day per couple we thought it was worth it.
We were on the 8th deck just below the Lido deck. We could hear tables, chairs and carts being pushed around above us early in the morning but other then that it was a good location right next to the stairs and elevators.
Took a cab to Chankanaab reef for $12. Tickets were $18 each and we had our own waiter for the day. The wives swam with the same lions and loved it. Great snorkeling right from the shore. Cab back in the afternoon was another $12. Fun day in Cozumel.
Took a cab to the beach for more money then we wanted to spend. Found that the beach was a man made pool. Drinks and food were OK. Belize City was dirty and crowded.
Took a cab to Royal Palm resort. Rented a pool cabana there. Good food and drinks. Bartender was very nice. No kids allowed in pool so it was pretty quiet.
