The cruise was great, service excellant. by
Brad C. from Waco Tx. Sailing date: Sep 2008Pros: Something to do all the time. Cons: Too rushed in some ports. Both the cruise and the service were great. The staff were extremely polite and went out of their was to assist in any way possible. This was our first cruise and we had a great time. The room we stayed in was very small but comfortable. There was so much to see and do that we were only there to catch a few hours of sleep before going to the next adventure. Ship QualityCrew was constantly cleaning anp painting at every chance, Dining/FoodFood was very good and always available. Food service staff was excellent. Stateroom QualityRoom was small gut comfortable, Ship Staff QualityOverly friendly. Liked to visit and answer questions, Entertainment & ActivitiesPleanty of activities for any age.

Juneau, AlaskaWe went on the Mendenhall Glacier & Salmon bake excursion. Had we realized that we would have had such a good view of the Glacier at Tracy Arms from the ship, we would have chosen another excursion in Juno.
Skagway, AlaskaWe did the 20 mile , 4 hr. Train ride. I wish we would have taken the longer one now. The old downtown area of Skagway was also very nice.
Don't Miss: Train ride, Prince Rupert, British ColumbiaDon't Miss: Whale watching.  12 out of 16 people found this review helpful.

Progreso (Merida), MexicoGood day.
We did our own excursion experiencing Madira and Mayan ruins. Fun day.
Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, HondurasOne of the best days of the cruise.
We did diving and zip line excursions on our own. The dive was awesome, the people are very friendly, and the value was great.

Wow! I was really impressed! by
Sharon from Chicago, IL Sailing date: Aug 2007Pros: The service! Unbelievable! I played with monkeys in Honduras, went to Chichen Itza, the beach and other Mayan ruins in Mexico, met amazing people, and spent time with my family, which was important. Dining/FoodAnything you want to eat, even if it's not on the menu, you can order. The staff was wonderful! Additionally, the food was great, especially the lobster!
Stateroom QualityThe attendant was fantastic! She even made our towels into little cute animals...and she left chocolate on the pillows at night. We had a great view of the sea as well. You would also think that with the size of the room it would be cramped-none in the least.

Cozumel, MexicoCozumel sucked! I've studied Mexican culture for about 7 yrs...it was like going to Florida. It was also very expensive. The taxi's def rip you off...I would have preferred to just stay on the boat.
Awful. Although, luckily we found this amazing museum, which was the only nice part about Cozumel.
Don't Miss: Nothing because it was awful. Progreso (Merida), MexicoChichen Itza! The pyramids were awesome! I wish we wouldn't have stopped to shop, which is an obvious plot to get people to buy overly expensive crap. I needed more time at the pyramids.
I wish I would have had more time in Progreso. What an amazing place!
Don't Miss: Chichen Itza! Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, HondurasMonkeys in Roatan! People were friendly, everywhere. The excursion was awesome! I found a local place to eat and the food was great! Plus, the people I met were incredible!
I would recommend Roatan to anybody. It was beautiful!
Don't Miss: The monkeys! They are everywhere! 9 out of 10 people found this review helpful.

Pamper, relaxed and entertained. by
Carole from Houston Sailing date: Aug 2007Pros: Beautiful facilities, dining, and service and comfortable stateroom. We were surprised how uncrowded it seemed, even though there were 2000 passengers. The layout contributed to this. We enjoyed the entire shipboard experience. Big band music. We traveled with my 82 and 86 year old parents; they were extremely well accommodated and taken care of. They loved the shows and dining. Dining/Food

Cozumel, MexicoCozemal was our snorkling destination.
It was pretty water, but we went to several stops on the west side, and there was no coral-wiped out by the last major hurricane. We did see fish because our guide baited them up. The excursion crew and boat were exceptional.
Don't Miss: Not for snorkling. Progreso (Merida), MexicoProgresso.
We took an excursion to see the Flamingos. We did see five birds, but it wasn't very scenic.
Don't Miss: Flamingos. Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, HondurasRoatan.
Fantastic coral reefs at Tabayana Beach. Best beach in the world.
Don't Miss: The beaches on the west end. 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Friendly service. by
James from Arlington, Texas Sailing date: Jun 2007Pros: Its service staff. The service was great as well as the food. Information and details about the ship and available activities was very poor. Any announcements made were only heard if you were out in common areas. Parking beforehand was a nightmare as was getting off the ship. Compared to other cruiselines, the only advantage Royal has is getting you on the ship faster. Dining/Food

Costa Maya (Mahahual), MexicoVery beautiful and friendly.
This stop was very fun and beautiful. The people were very friendly and the activities were great.
Cozumel, MexicoCozumel was great!!!
The scenery was very beautiful. Snorkelling was a blast. The local people and vendors were very friendly. The food was great.
Don't Miss: Snorkel Trip. Progreso (Merida), MexicoGreat side trips, friendly people.
Another fun stop. Local people very friendly and knowledgeable about local history. Excursions were a blast.
Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, HondurasRoatan was disappointing.
I had been here before and it was great. This time around it was very disappointing. The scenery and activities were good and the shopping was good. The service people (taxi drivers, resort staff, resteraunt staff) were not friendly and did not seem to want to help you or want your business. We sat in a resteraunt for over 45 minutes and were never helped at all despite asking.

Great experience. by
Mary from Cedar Park, TX Sailing date: Nov 2006What a wonderful way to celebrate a special occasion! We felt pampered the whole week. We had rain in Jamaica, but Mexico and Grand Cayman were perfect. The entertainment was great for us. We will definitely go again! Food was great, selection was great, service impeccable. The fitness area was at the front of the ship which had the most sway. It was nauseating to be on the treadmill. Entertainment & Activities

Excellent service. by
Andrea from Wichita Falls, TX Sailing date: Jan 2007Pros: I liked the pool areas and how they had one indoors as well as outside. I felt that our trip was all that I had imagined that it would be. The food was great, activities all the time, not too many kids everywhere, the stateroom was always looking great, the only thing was my husband got an intestinal thing for a couple of days and he was uncomfortable as you could imagine. We are pretty sure he caught something aboard. But overall a good experience, we will definately be going on another cruise. Entertainment & Activities
