Cruise was good. Got an extra day cause could not disembark. Lost 1 night stay and theme park tickets for 8. But had more time with Family as this was a Family reunion cruise.

Ship Quality

Ship was clean. Atrium way too small. That's usually the grand spot. Staircase photos bland.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was nice and clean. Lots of closet space. Refridgerator never got cold. Rm 6256

Ship tip

Don't get picture package. Just use your phone. Pictures are downloaded on phone and you have to print them. So save your money and just take your own.

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did an excursion thru shorexcursioneer.com deluxe highlights of cabo. Started with a nice ride to arches, then on a bus for sightseeing thru town, stopped at a shop for shopping. (Pricey). Glass blowing factory.(interesting) lunch at restaurant, Try the empanadas delish! (Included). Was running late so they axed the tequila tasting. But was able to do so at the shop. $54.00 per a person was worth it would recommend.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did the Stone island tour. Thru Mazatlantours.org. It was $39.00 per person. Included open bar and 2 activities, and lunch. Boat takes you to Island. Was too cold to do beach activities. But had a blast riding horse and drinking and dancing to music. Order the combo meal. Recommended.

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Just embarked here til after cruise then went Knott Berry Farm.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did the Dolphin Encounter thru groupon. $65.00. And $20 for taxi. Fun day doing the makalena with dolphins. Have you ever high fived a dolphin? Awesome experience.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
We disembarked a day later, cause corona paranoia. This caused a Lot of plan disruptions. And some costly changes. Outside of that the cruise itself was fun.

Thanks so much for sharing! 45 days and I'll be in her myself. Nice to hear people are still out there enjoying themselves even with the extreme hype of this virus!

Sounds great , very helpful - having a bad feeling my cruise date 5/2 is going to have to get pushed back , everyday it’s getting worse with this virus spreading.
