Everything I saw was very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
room was very nice, even with 4 people in it. We didn't spend a lot of time in there, as there was just too much to do on ship! Bath and beds were comfortable, balcony was excellent!

Ship tip

Plan, plan, plan! Also, when debarking in Cabo, get down to level 1 as early as possible, as the line goes all the way down to the other end of ship!

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

embarcation

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
We took the small group swim with the dolphin excursion and I did read some reviews that were not so flattering! However, nothing could be farther from the truth! This was an excellent trip, the crew there do an excellent job in providing a very entertaining time with the dolphins, the kids just loved it! I would highly recommend this excursion especially for youngsters!

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
no planned excursions here, we just got a van total us to a beach and he did! resort pool and beach were all free, Had a great time in the water, drinks and food were were delivered to our umbrellas and chairs, great time. Umbellas are 25 U$ each including two chairs

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
port was like all the ports with huge selection of mexican tourist items for sal. Excursion was the sail and snorkel trip which was just great! crew was excellent, even put up the sail when the wind picked up, snorkeled with some fish, and the lunch was excellent! I highly recommend it. The photo girl took excellent pics and was very nice!

Agree with most comments. We had a wonderful time. Food in Horizon was a bit iffy at times! The kids enjoyed the ship and loved Joey. He was awesome!
