Service and Staff

Holik was a blast, amazing how he knew our names the first day and acknowledged us every day. Tyler, Millie, Vanessa and everyone was always cheerful and never strayed away from a question.

Plenty of room even for the 2 suitcases we brought on board

Ship tip

Happy duck hunting!!! Don't do excursions on short days at Port!!

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
easy to get around once at the port.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Top 10 of Puerto Vallarta was a great time, had plenty of time to do the excursion and shop afterwards.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
Top 10 of Mazatlan was great also, had plenty of time to do the excursion and shop afterwards also.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

3 out of 5
Camel excursion, only regret was doing the excursion because the sea didn't cooperate with the debarkation as easy as it should've been. Not enough time to do the excursion and shop, it was scheduled to be a short day and indeed it was, will not do an ecurion on another short day again.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Chaotic, next time check bags to debark, everyone in a hurry to go nowhere fast. Tyler was great at announcements just the poeple were the problem.
