We picked this cruise for Easter week hoping there would be lots of families and good food and we were not disappointed. We had a mini suite which had room for the four of us and a balcony big enough to sit on and enjoy. I think we paid around $6000 for the week and we had ultimate drink package and 3 specialty meals included. We tried to eat at a variety of restaurants including Cagney's, Teppanyaki, and La Cucina. The entertainment was very good. We went to the Cirque show Steam which includes dinner and the steak there was one of the best we ate anywhere on board. Don't miss Burn the Floor and Million Dollar Quartet for shows. My 14 year old loved the silly game shows in the Atrium like "Battle of the Sexes". We booked the Dolphin Swim and snorkel in Honduras which was my personal favorite excurIsion. We missed the three reef snorkel in Cozumel which I think would have been better than the closer to shore snorkel we picked due to one of my teens fear of sea creatures. If I go back I will do the 3 reef snorkel farther out. Don't forget to tip your cabin steward; ours did a great job. My only complaint on the cruise was the cigarette smoke smell inside the ship in and around the casino. I don't think they should allow smoking anywhere except the very top sun deck if at all. It really took away from my experience inside and near the pool.

Cabin had more space for clothes than I imagined. Hairdryer was available and bathroom well designed. Even with four people we were satisfied with our space.

Port Reviews

Harvest Caye

This is an OK stop. The beach is pretty and we found chairs in the shade but it feels like a theme hotel at Disney. NIce but no real look at Belize. Get off the boat, stay a couple hours and that is it. Also--even though it is a Norwegian owned island it is extra for drinks which are very expensive--about 15 bucks each. We enjoyed ourselves but it was my least favorite port.
