There were nine in my group and as usual we had a good time ( I mean we were cruising the Caribbean) and although we have cruised before on Carnival as well as Royal Caribbean this cruise was below expectations in a couple of areas.

First was the fact that we kept finding areas of the boat that were closed for private events. This is not mentioned while you are booking and it made me feel like I bought a plane ticket and the had to ride with the luggage because those willing to pay premiums were occupying the cabin area.

Second we had scheduled an early excursion that left before breakfast was served so we ordered from room service to be delivered at 5am, neither of the members of our party ever received their orders.

Cabin Review

Interior

Cabin 4A

The cabin was of sufficient size but had very limited electrical outlets only 2were useable, but was clean and offered a pleasant environment.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Confusing but not unexpected for a major cruise terminal.

Belize City

Not a lot to see there, pan handlers abound and most of the street vendors are over priced.

The Balloon Bar was a cool littl spot with great value for the food and drinks.

Roatan

Went to West Bay Beach and the experience was amazing, we spent the day at Paradise Beach Hotel on the beach where ten dollars a person will get you beach access with an umbrella or palapa, $12 will buy 5 local beers and the beach is gorgeous and has a reef that you can swim right out to for some awesome snorkeling.
