There are a number of areas where this cruise ship disappointed me, and did not provide value.

For starters, the nearly $300 internet service quality was abysmal. It was so difficult to connect, and when connecting was possible, the speed of the connectivity was atrocious. In asking the internet cafe manager for help resolving our issues, he gave some truly absurd reasons as to why we were experiencing such sub-par performance: "Turn off your VPN. That should solve most of your problems." - I use VPN at work & home ALL THE TIME and NEVER have any problem with WiFi. So why would that suddenly be a problem on the ship?

"Don't stand too close to a window when trying to connect to the internet." - WHAT? How is that even a thing? Given the small size of our stateroom, anywhere we stood could be considered "close to a window".

Average, nothing special. Typical cruise ship stateroom.

Harvest Caye

This can't really be considered Belize. It's a "Disney-fied" island that projects someone's idea of what Belize should be. Of course, it included numerous gift shops and opportunities to spend money. I took one walk around & headed back to the ship. Waste of time.
