Grand Cayman-We did Atlantis submarine at this port. We went down over 100 feet, it was the only way these chickens were going to ever see what's down there as neither of us do water related anything. It was interesting, saw a lot of fish, coral, reefs, etc. It was $84 pre-booked on the Internet and $105 from Celebrity. It's an easy 5 minute walk from where the ship docks. The water was beautiful, the typical Caribbean blue.

Cozumel-Cozumel brought another first for us, we para-sailed. It was amazing! It's not easy to take off or land but we did it, a bit clumsily, but no broken bones. This was our only excursion through the ship. It was $50 on-your-own, $84 through Celebrity. We had no idea you could get this walking distance from the ship thus our reason for booking with the score excursion desk. 


Cozumel

MAYA CHAN-In Costa Maya we did an all-inclusive at a day resort. It was only a 10 minute ride but because the roads are so poor it takes more like 20+. This was a little piece of heaven, one of the best kept secrets of this island and the bargain of the century. 
Once you get there, you're escorted to your private 8X10 thatched hut with a bed/chaise, pillows and reclining Adirondack chairs. During the morning, they bring around fresh fruit followed by their signature drink, chips with salsa and guacamole and free flowing booze, anything you want from beer, mai-tai's, Bailey's, soda, bottled water, etc. 
Lunch is a buffet-all you can eat fajitas with the trimmings. They're made fresh by a local grilling seasoned chicken, steak and fish. They were DELICIOUS. 
They have kayak's for your use (encourage races), snorkeling equipment and water chairs. They also have bikes and will take you on a 2 mile ride. They offer scuba diving for an extra charge as well as massages which we jumped on. It was as good as you get anywhere else for multiple times the price. It was right on the beach under a burlap tarp. $45 for an hour. 
This all-inclusive was $49 PP which paid for the transportation, food, drinks, equipment- all but the massage. We we did leave a tip in teh Love Box at the bar. What an amazing day! We're going back to Costa Maya in January, we'll definitely be returning to Maya Chan. www.mayachanbeach.com or reservations@mayachanbeach.com 


Costa Maya

We had a private taxi tour in Roatan by Rony's Tours who we found on-line here with great reviews. We contacted him via the Internet and he personally did the tour in his air-conditioned van. He did exactly as we asked, just to see the island with some photo stops and tons of information about their economy, education, prices, etc. Rony worked for Celebrity Cruise lines for 4 years so he knows the ropes and his English is great. ronyroatan@yahoo.com or www.ronystours.com He was wonderful! 


Roatan

Cabin 8273-1B Deluxe with Veranda. Great location, nice spacious bathroom, ample storage, big couch, typical balcony but with nice reclining chairs and standard basic cabin space. Great comfy beds and linens.

We were in port for the next 4 days so we didn't even attempt to go back and blew it off the last sea day as well so it's being judged by the one-time visit.FOOD- We headed to the buffet on embarkation day and we had the first of many build-your-own pasta lunches.
