My wife and I took a seven day cruise from Tampa, Florida on the Norwegian Dawn. We visited the following ports:

Costa Maya Mexico where we went on a scenic rafting trip to a beautiful lagoon.

Harvest Caye, Belize where we took a scenic tubing trip.

Roatan, Honduras where we visited Gumbalimba Preserve and had a close encounter with monkeys.

Cozumel, Mexico where we had a close encounter with dolphins.

Weather during the cruise was beautiful and we had a great time.
