Review summary

It was our first time on a cruise, I liked that we were paired with a similar family at our first dinner, that was unexpected and such a great idea. We ended up spending a lot of time with them. I loved everything about the cruise, especially the music that was playing everywhere at all times (DJs, piano bar, Medici Bar, etc). It was a very good first experience.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

It took too long to get to Cabo, we were ready at 8 and did not get there until 11:30 which really impacted our time there. They should have chartered a few ferry rather than boats. We were rushed because of it.
