Review summary
Wow. This was our first cruise and it was absolutely incredible. There are so many fun things to do onboard throughout the day we never felt bored. The rooms were fine I thought they were going to be smaller but it was doable. The cleaning crew made a cute towel animal each time they cleaned the room and left it really nice and tidy. The entire staff remebers your name and treats you with the best customer service. Our dining crew was Enrique, Abbey and Bernadette and they were so amazing and incredibly nice. When we weren't at dinner they would still say hi and smile when we would see eachother around the ship. Mate the magician was so charismatic and amazing. My daughters fell in love with him! Glenford the bar waiter was impeccable and so considerate. 2 Notes the band was awesome! They definitely need a bigger dance crowd they are totally worth listening. Liverpool band at the Red Frog cafe was really good too, request a Spanish song and they'll play it!
We did the canopy adventure in Mazatlan which was totally worth it especially with the free tequila shots at the end! We also went to Las Caletas in Puerto Vallarta which was worth every penny. The food was amazing, the beach was stunning and all the water activities were fantastic. It was paradise.
Overall the ship was super clean and big to explore around. The only cons I have is that the massages were way overpriced. I paid $200 for a bamboo massage and I don't think it was worth it. The pool was also tiny. But this doesn't take away from my family's fantastic experience on the cruise. Watch the shows, go to the comedy shows, get to know your waiters, listen to the bands, look for Mate the magician at dinner time he's so fun and cute, and give the staff a big tip because they all deserve it!
