I recently sailed to Cozumel on board the Inspiration. We had a great time! Be sure to bring plenty of money if you drink alcohol. The beer can be a little steep around $6 for domestics. I would also suggest selecting a cruise where you have plenty of time at your destination. It can be somewhat exhausting trying to cram everything into 10 hours. If you book an excursion be sure to check out the duration of the event. We chose the Delux sail and snorkle with beach party. It was fun and the crew was great. The drinks are free but weak. We had a great time shopping and visiting Carlos and Charlie's and Senor Frog's. I was a little disapointed with the beach party because I was hoping for authentic mexican food instead of hamburgers.
You may want to pack motion sickness medication. We went through a few rough nights and we were a little sick. You can also go to the information desk for medication. The overall cleanliness of the ship is good. We did not really check out the entertainment, but the cmedy show was a little weak.
The crew and staff are very friendly and helpful. Marvin on the lido deck is exceptional. A few members of the crew have heavy accents and it can be a little difficult to understand them.
The dining was great. The lobster and prime rib were fabulous.The buffet on the lido decj is also very good. We enjoyed the cheeseburgers and fries.
I would also suggest packing lightly. You really only need swimwear, something to wear to dinner, and shorts and tank tops. It really comes in handy when you are getting off the boat. If you give your luggage to the staff it can take a couple more hours to get your bags. So carry your belongings if you do not wanna wait.
Make sure to bring some extra money for the duty free shops. They have great prices. However you may want to shop early the lines can get a little long. Also make sure to be very careful where you use cards in Mexico. Carry cash for shopping. Don't be afraid to bargain with the salespeople, we got some great deals.
There are lots of restrooms on the ship. The wait for the elevators can be a little long, so be prepared to take stairs.
Overall I would say my experience was great. The only thing really dissapointing was the fact the only day it rained was when we were in Cozumel. However, it was beautiful by the afternoon. I would certainly reccomend this to anyone.
