Depends on the ship too I suppose - On the Jade we had tables for two and up to 8 - I would imagine if the tables for two are full you may have to share - but didn't have that problem at all during our cruise. Breakfast was wonderful - I didnt care for the crab cake under the egg with the eggs benedict -it was getting soggy, so I just slipped the crab cake out from under and munched away. Very good, just not a combination that I cared for. Note that your juice is included with you breakfast (for suites and villas) however, if you want juice at lunch there is a fee for it (I think it was 3.50 or so) Weird. Not sure why, as juice was always available in the Courtyard area at no charge for those passengers with access to the courtyard. Not sure how it works with the pay as you go with Cagney's as it wasn't available on our cruise that I'm aware of.

We are thinking of doing the Norwegian Sun March 2007 with a stop at Santo Tomas de Castilla .. any recommendations on Mayan ruin excursions?

We went last Feb on the Sun. The Quintigra Ruins - very long bus ride, but very much worth it. Make sure you take the early one. We barely made it back in time to sail - but book through the ship for this one. I really wouldn't want to be stranded there, as lovely as it is. Absolutely beautiful country. Every time I see the Chiquta bananas I think of the fields there. They do provide an armed guard for the trip (or at least they did with ours) and if you leave the pier area you will notice quite a few armed guards throughout the drive. They had unearthed new ruins just before we arrived, unfortunately we didn't have time to see them. Great guides though. and well worth the trip.
