Review summary

Overall, we had a fantastic time on our cruise. We were all impressed with the Havana Cabana area and the waitstaff there.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was good. We arrived on time and had to wait about 45 minutes from curb to ship. We made sure we had printed out all of our documents and brought our Passports.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Main Dining room was fantastic. Demar and his group was fantastic. The buffet was okay. We ate at the Mongolian BBQ place for lunch one day it was fantastic. We also had Guys BBQ and the mac n cheese was fabulous. as well.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We played a lot of bingo, swam in the Havanna pool, went down the water slides, played mini-golf, and rode the sky bikes.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The two stage shows that we went to were amazing. The comedians were hilarious!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The only reason why I rate this a 4 star is because of our room attendant. He wasn't very attentive. I gave it 4 stars for all of the other ship personnel and for Demar and his team in the main dining room.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Since this is a brand new ship, the ship was very clean, everything was well maintained. We would see people all over the place cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a Havana Cabana stateroom. There were 4 of us in this stateroom with 1 queen bed, 1 pull down and the couch. It was a bit tight with the 4 of us but because we had the huge balcony it made it great.

Ports of call

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
We overdid this port. We walked to Walmart to pick up a few needed items. Then jumped in a taxi van to take us to the cathedral which was absolutely beautiful. We then walked the malecon and had lunch at a fantastic Mexican restaurant.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
Since we overdid our day in Puerto Vallarta, we decided to just do some light shopping in the port area. There were a lot of little shops in the area and we purchased a few magnets.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Loved this port. We went to Cabo Wabo for a few hours. Had tacos and margaritas.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Disembarkation to a long time. It seemed like they didn't have it well organized.
