Great! We seen several of the pg punchlines shows, the love and marriage show, the Mardi Gras celebration and the Epic Rock with Alex! He really goes all out and mixes with passengers right up to the time we left the ship! On a scale of 1-5 he made our entertainment at least an 8! Really enjoyed all!

Ship tip

Although it was a smaller ship compared to the Magic and Vista, it is an awesome ship and allows for so much more personal touches and personal service from the dining, to photography and the interaction with the crew and staff!

Ensenada, Mexico

We lucked into a bus ride into town where they told us about a shuttle ride to a small flea market and a visit to the blowhole. Our guide, Alejandra, made sure we knew who to buy from and who not to buy from based on authenticity of silver and real leather and where to purchase food and drinks that would not make you sick. The tour was about 3 1/2 hours and was only $17 per adult..a real bargain and always felt safe! Part of the flea market housed a small animal shelter for an extra fee you could hold the exotic animals!
