We traveled with a group of 14 people. Once we had all gotten on the ship we wanted to go to the purser to arrange it so that all of us could have the same seating and set together at dinner. Now, when we had received our tickets prior to sailing we had selected the late seating as did everyone else in our group. When we had gotten our sign and sail cards it was set for early seating. And that was when my mother in-law and had gone to the pursers desk to change our seating. We got our seating change the next night but was not able to sit at the same table. So 10 people from our group sat at one table and the other four had to sit at another table behind them.

The staff on the ship was not all that impressive. You would walk down the halls or around the ship and they did not smile or greet you. There were a very select few who did greet or smile.

The stops were nice. We had selected to go on the Cave Tubing tour when we got to Belize. That was an amazing experience. You first take the tender to shore and then get on a bus to go to the cave. The guides were great for this tour. First you pick up your tube and then you take a brief walk which lasted about 15-20 minutes, even though the details for this tour from the cruise director said it was about a 30 minute hike, through a rain forest and you get down to the "river" and get in your tube. You go through this amazing cave that is absolutely pitch black but you are given head lamps prior to the tour. The tubing was about 30 minutes and then you get out of the water where you started. There is a photographer from Carnival there to take pictures of you as you are going through the rain forest and going down the river, which you can pick up during the cruise. Read more
