Review summary

Every bit of it is enjoyable. Very friendly staff, Lot's of food, good shows and comedy..

The ship and rooms need some remodeling though but it's not too bad. Catalina is awesome, Ensenada is a bit old country.

Thinks to do in Catalina:

Rent a golf cart in Catalina for $40/ hr

Snorkeling is a lot of fun

Parasailing is a waste of money and time. Only 8 minutes in the air!

In Ensenada: Take the big tour from downtown for $15/ person. Rent ATV on your own from downtown. Horseback riding is not all that except for kids maybe.

In all, it's a good first cruise experience.

Aww we will be doing the parasailing but going with our 9 yr old I figured it would be a good starter to beginning parasailing! Hoping to have fun regardless!

How much was it to rent the ATV in Mexico? How old do you need to be to drive? We will be taking this cruise in 3 weeks with 6 kids...teens. Thanks.
