Review summary
We sailed out on a cool Saturday leaving the Port of Long Beach and the cool weather behind.
We had purchased the Faster to the Fun package and boarded quickly. Once onboard the lunch buffet was open and offering food, many of the bars were open as well. The drinks we strong, try the Rum Ginger Beer. We cruised to Matazalan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo. Had a great time in each of the ports. Took the Salsa and Salsa Excursion. Lots of fun. And learned how to make some great new salsa.
Highlights were the Chefs Table, an amazing dinner for just 14 guests, hand prepared just for us. Tour through the kitchen to see it in full action. We also ate at Nick and Nora's steakhouse. We highly recommend both of these special nights. Reserve early, they book up.
The buffet and restaurant dining variety wasn't as wide as just two years ago. Granted we got a great price for the entire cruise so perhaps this is an area that was cut back on.
We has a great time.
