Sweet. It's all inclusive right? Man, I'd be doing the Titanic if it were.

I've been to Labadee and it sucks. The other places sound pretty cool though.

how much

Ive been on jewel of the seas. Favorite boat i ever been on out of maybe 6. i think its the perfect size boat... not to big not to small.

And ive only been to labadee out of all those places and its a shit hole. Nothing to do there and if you look up on the hill where they are selling art there are armed guards guarding a fence.

i dont know whats on the other side of the fence but there is nothing to do there except beach activities. and shitty shops

Thx good advice, also bringing the meclazine just in case of ocean sickness. I'm usually good on cruises but if I drink to much + alot of waves then it can get a bit dicey.

thx Stephen, that's why I picked it as well! I've been on a NCL class below and another RCCL class that was 120K + tons so I'm hoping this is just right.

Sucks to hear about Labadee though, I've read that they have waverunner tours which may be a decent alternative to the beach and crappy art.

Sweet... I've been to Belize and did the Cave tubbing/Zipline tour with Major Tom's , which was awesome!

Cozumel I spent the day at Noche Cocum, which I highly suggest. It's $50/person but all you can drink alcohol and awesome food.

Never been to Costa Maya. Sounds like a good trip.. enjoy!
