Review summary

The cruise was a great short cruise.Packed with loads of fun. The ship never felt crowded at all. Even during the sea day, it was well spread out and we didn't feel like we ran into crowds anywhere.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Everything was super clean. The layout was fine, less the galley in the center of the 2 dining rooms and the dinning rooms only having 1 entrance. It took a couple days to figure out which deck to go to before going up to the dining room. It is a bit dated design wise, but its an old ship. Nothing looked out of repair at all.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The worst part of the cabin was the TV. It was mounted in a way that laying on the bed it produced nothing but dark colors. Since we got bored on sea day, it was slightly annoying, but not the end of the world to not watch great tv on a cruise.

Ship tip

Do the activities. The night before the sea day, you have no reason not to stay up late and have fun. The activities let you meet people and have a blast. I'd also suggest getting your own cab to the blow hole in Ensenada and seeing the big cat cubs at Habana Banana
