my wife & I decided to do an off season cruise for a change of pace. it turned out to be a very interesting & relaxing time. boarding was absolutely flawless but that may be a bit slanted since my wife & i have platinum status--I think it took us less than 15 minutes for us to arrive at the terminal to being in our room(balcony on deck9) . anyway the new once a day cleaning service wasn't that big of a deal...we chose morning/afternoon service over evening. it worked out terrific for us. the steward(carmondy) was superb & was always close by to offer any help or service if we needed it. we even had the head of HK come by for a brief chat to check on us. the food was okay in the dining room>>we ate in the main dining room only twice, we opted for the steakhouse for 2 nights, the Italian restaurant once, & bonsai sushi twice. I will concede that the main dining room was getting a bit stale, I mean the food was good but the selections needs to be upgraded or changed up. the menu hasn't changed since we first sailed on the breeze 2 or 3 yrs ago. anyway the "fee" restaurants were superb & IMO quite a bargain for the service & quality you get. the sushi bar was absolutely the best bargain on the ship...splendid presentation & terrific fresh sushi & wonderful service & the prices were unbelievable.

the ports were all great...the weather the whole cruise was perfect >almost cloudless sunny days. we went snorkeling on Jolly Roger catamaran excursion in Honduras which was fun and the crew was great with instructions & guidance , lunch was pretty good. In Belize we went to mayan ruins in Xunantunich. the trip was long But the guides were excellent on informing us on every phase of the trip. they were very accommodating with the pace of the excursion. lunch was at a local restaurant which was very tasty.

In Cozumel, since we had been there dozens of times on other cruises & destination vacations, we just took a cab to paradise beach for awhile then took a cab to San Miguel for a short shopping stroll on the strip. we ended up at "thirsty cougar " bar for some margaritas & ceviche and people watching.
