Belize City, BelizeHighly recommend the water cave tubing it was like you went back in time going through the water caves. A lot to choose from on activities.
Don't Miss: I would not travel in the city unless I was on a excurision did not look safe. Water cave tubing is the dont miss Cozumel, MexicoGreat city lots of shopping and went on a jeep excursion and it was great not crowded and felt like we had our own privite tour.
Don't Miss: not enought time on island seemed rushed getting back to the ship Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, HondurasOur zip line excurision was great and enjoyable highly recommend. The island is small but the beeches were very good.
Don't Miss: not much to do if you do not go on an excursion. Very limited activities close to the ship port. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

  Amazing first cruise experience! by
Katie from Iowa Sailing date: Oct 2010Pros: Experiencing new cultures, taking in all of the history, enjoying great food & wine, and being blessed with great weather! Cons: Nothing We chose this cruise as our first cruise experience. Everything was amazing! Ship QualityThe ship was huge, and always very clean. Plenty of seating options and activities for all ages. Dining/FoodThe food and wine on the ship was delicious! We used my time dining which worked out well since we were busy exploring on excursions during the day. The servers delivered exceptional customer service and recognized us by name each night. We were so impressed by our dining experience in the Magic Flute dining room we did not eat at any of the specialty restaurants. Francis and Lino our waiters were extraordinary! Stateroom QualityOur stateroom was perfect! We were on deck 9 (aft-rear of the ship) and enjoyed how quiet our location was. Our room was always very clean and in good condition. Our state room attendant made sure all of our needs were met, and he made great towel creatures each night for us! Ship Staff QualityAll ship staff were very friendly and willing to do all that they could to make each guest happy. For example, one night while listening to the piano player in the schooner bar on deck 4 I ordered a bailey's and coffee. Instead of telling me he couldn't make that happen, our waiter went to deck 5 and got me coffee for the drink! The staff all worked great as a team who loved their jobs! Entertainment & ActivitiesMany different activities to keep one busy on the ship! We enjoyed the sports deck, hot tubs, gym and piano bar. I enjoyed doing walk for wishes, a make a wish benefit, on the ship and got to meet the captain who also participated in the walk! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Amazing vacation ever by
Khalid S from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Sailing date: Jul 2010Pros: full entertainment schedule fit all ages/moods besides you feel like you are prince Cons: not that big swimming pool Friendly crow, amazing recreation schedule, very clean rooms and ship, you can attend the production show then have a delicious dinner then watch the prade show then have a jacuzi with some coktels then go over your room and sleep. meaning there are many entertainment plans in the ship and this was one of them.
The Cruise with Royal Caribbean is the best sea cruise and they speak English and Spanish.

A Beautiful Ship by
Julie R. from Center, Tx Sailing date: Jan 2009The ship is beautiful--the promenade, the deck areas,
the dining rooms and the casino are wonderful. Ship QualityThis is a big ship but it did not seem crowded. Dining/FoodCuisine was wonderful both in buffet areas and in dining
rooms. We did not try any of the specialty eating areas. Stateroom QualityWe had a balcony room--first ever--and loved it--the bed
was fabulously comfortable. Ship Staff QualityOur door card keys would not work for a relatively short time--
when my husband complained, we received "apology" gifts
of wine, a r.c. bag, scrapbook and other goodies--nice service!! Entertainment & ActivitiesThe ice show was outstanding--the variety shows that we did
attend were also very good.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), MexicoA pleasant surprise--the shops, restaurants and pools were
lovely--next time we will take swim suits.
Cozumel, MexicoWe have been to Cozumel many times and always love the
stop there. Mexcalitos is a never-miss spot for the best
margaritas and nachos.
Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, HondurasSuch an improvement since our last stop there--it looks like
civilization now--shopping was fun in the market by the
pier.

A Great Time by
Elaine H from San Antonio, Tex Sailing date: Jan 2009Pros: How friendly the crew was Cons: Lines to wait in It was our first cruise so we didn't know quite what to expect. We were very pleased with most everything. Loved the Mystery Dinner Theater at Portifinos. The pools were beautiful and loved that the bars were handy!!

Great, but tiring. by
Jessica from MA Sailing date: May 2007Pros: Dining. It was an incredible cruise experience. The one drawback was how tired I was every day at the end of the day. We basically came back to eat the fantastic dinner we had every night and then went to sleep for the next day's adventure. I think another city in Italy (instead of Rome) would have been better -- because 1) I have been to Rome before and 2) no one can really appreciate Rome in 1 day (~ 7 hours). Southern France & Italy + Sicily were beautiful. I loved the dining experience too -- it was great.
Collapse List of Ports
Civitavecchia (Rome), ItalyCan't do Rome in a day!
We took the train in and out of Rome which was easy but Rome is too big to experience in 1 day. Northern Italy would have been better I think.
Naples, ItalyGo South!
Loved taking the tour to Sorrento and Pompeii, which are a bit south of Naples. Was absolutely beautiful. Wish we had a bit more time to relax in Sorrento and shop and look around -- however my mom instead wished for more time in Pompeii. It really depends on what you like the most.
Don't Miss: Pompeii. Palermo, SicilyTake a tour.
We took the tour to Erice and the greek temple and it was great. Really enjoyed the natural beauty and the tour.

Voyager of the Seas is a Winner. by
David from Minneapolis, MN Sailing date: Feb 2007The Voyager of the Seas is a winner. The ship was wonderful. The stateroom with a balacony was great. The shows were the best, the decor was outstanding. The "Mall" in the heart of the ship was unbelieveable. Our only complaint was that the staff handed you the food in the buffet line which really slowed it down. They do it for health reasons, but we eat at on-land buffets that do not do that. It was overkill. Having the hand sanitizor was a good idea and was enough. Entertainment & Activities
Entertainment: Abba look-alikes were wonderful, best show we have seen on a cruise. Also, the ice skating show was great.

Cozumel, MexicoOkay Island.
I think we have been there too much. The good thing about this trip is that we were not hounded as much to buy things from the vendors.
Don't Miss: Boat ride to Play del Carmon. Labadee (Cruiseline Private Island)Wonderful Beach Day.
We love it when ships stop at their private islands for a beach day. That is what the Carribean is all about.
George Town, Grand CaymanGeorgeTown.
Try the rum okay. It is safe to walk around on your own.
Don't Miss: Rum cake. Ocho Rios, JamaicaAvoid Breezes.
We had a day excursion to Breezes, it was nice, but much smaller and not much to do. It was very over priced for what we got. However, it is important to book an excursion in Oches Rio's. Going out on your own might not be safe. We heard about two couples who had problems.
Don't Miss: A fairly priced excursion. 5 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

Allen from Seattle, Wa Sailing date: Sep 2006Pros: Variety. For those that like a new adventure everyday, this is the cruise for you. Although pace yourself, 5 straight days of touring can get tiring. Entertainment & Activities
