First off this is a 4-day cruise so with that said it is casual. Dinning: Lunch is in the Windjammer Café no other choice but the Chops Grille. We never ate at Chops Grille so I cannot give a review, but the Windjammer was the worse buffet food. On day one that is the only place to get lunch so be prepared for disgusting food and long lines. The main dining room had very good food. If you have "My time dining" make reservations as soon as possible or you will be standing in line to be stetted. (for this cruise, I wish we had 5:30 or 8:00 seating) Dress for day 1,3 and 4 is casual, day 2 suggestion for dress is smart casual/white attire but still most people stated on the casual side of dress. On sea days, the main dining room was open for brunch (9:30am - 12:30 pm) eat here on sea days. One more thing I must say about the main dining room if you can set at table 572 (sets 4), I cannot say enough good things about Milton and Eleazar.

My husband and I have been to Cozumel before but others in our party this was their first time. We did the ATV/ beach excursion. (I don't know what I was thinking but there are not ATM's in the jungle of Mexico.) Its cash only for any shopping that you would like to do or to buy the picture at the end of your ATV ride. Then off to the beach for about 1.5 hours (again you will need cash). There is an ATM but you will pay big to use it. ($20USD).

The cabin over all is fine (we had a junior suite). Being is a suite give us priority on embarkation day. The shower was very small. On day one we sent out some things to be iron and had to call to get our things back. All the suites are under deck 10 so it can get a little noisy some nights.
