Galveston port is a nice drive from San Antonio, our home. No flying required. Did this same cruise last year and enjoyed it too. We like the size of the ship, not a mega liner. Easy to maneuver and get around. We boarded the ship at 1PM, we didn’t want to board before cabins were ready. Enjoyed all speciality restaurants, but especially Giovanni’s where we had the same waiter the three times we ate there, ‘Sexy Melvin.’ Sabor, the Mexican restaurant had friendly staff and good food and very, very good margaritas. Chops was nice, but came in third of the three restaurants. The Saturday Night Fever show was very good in spite of some technical issues. Most fun evening entertainment, with out a doubt, was Quest. Adults only but tons of fun. Disembarkation was slow once off the ship to get through customs, nothing Royal Caribbean could do anything about. Porters were helpful and plentiful. We did private excursions. In Belize we arranged a private tour out to Mayan ruins which was outstanding. We’ve visited Routan 3 times and I think the next time we’ll just stay on the ship and enjoy the open bars and pools without the hectic activity ashore.
Roomy cabin and nice large balcony with 2 loungers, two chairs and two tables. Large bathroom but the bathtub shower combo is a little challenging to get in and out of.
