Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was good but it would have been nice to make the one place that always did Mexican food to make local foods from whatever port we are in. Give it more local flavor!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The only complaint I would have would be the length of some of the doings , especially the shopping and the diamond show. They were way too long and cut into our onboard fun time!! Also, the pool was prett small and the two hot tubs on the nds were always filled with kids. We never got to use them!! I would get rid of the one hot tub and make the pool bigget and put up a sign on the hot tub for adults only.

It was beautiful but we tried to save some money and used locals instead of the ship's excursions. We WON'T make that mistake again!!! It was our fault, even thought the tour was recommended by "Trip Advisor".
