Food: the main complimentary restaurants are mediocre at best. If you have the funds do at least 3 nights of speciality dining. Chaney’s was the best. The buffet was standard and we alway enjoyed it. They do seem to lack in tasty desserts but the ice cream is yummy and always available. Room: prefect we had a balcony. Plenty of storage. Nice size and almost noise free. (White noise machine helps at night) we had room 8170 and loved it. Excisions and Ports: Amazing. We saw monkeys in Roatan, Mayan Pyramids in Costa Maya, and snorkeled in Harvest Caye (tip get off the ship early at Harvest Caye to get a good seat and swim in a empty beautiful pool. By 12 the place is packed. If you like to shop cozumel is for you. Second tip bring your own water bottles and bring them every where you go. We used our the time. Amenities: slides, rope course and pool is nice but the pool is full by 10. Chairs gone by 9:30. Get up early if staying on board and stake your claim with towels and clips to keep them there. Entertainment. Not a fan. Tried. It was either not good or more for teenagers. We brought movies downloaded on iPads as the tv has Minimal to watch. Is it a Disney Cruise? No it is not but we still had fun. Last tip plan on spending more than you think as many things cost extra. Without the drink plan plan on spending 9-16 dollars a drink. Also bring an air freshener for you bathroom. It helps. Service can be slow, staff nice but not really knowledgeable, and get to embarkation early if you can. First people there get on the ship first and parking at the port is tricky. We got there by 9:00. On by 11:00

Harvest Caye

Get out early to get a good seat. Pool was beautiful but full by 12. Husband and son did the snorkel excursion and loved it.

Cozumel

I over Cozumel and the shopping. My 13 year old got tired of the vendor “sell”. Ate at Panchos Backyard down farther by the second Pier. Amazing food drink and shopping. Authentic not like Senor Frogs.
