Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Sky bicycle was awesome and my kids loved the Sky Zone jump. The ropes course was so fun and had an amazing view and the waterslides were an absolute blast.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The comedy club shows and love and marriage were so funny and lots of laughs were had. The morning show with cruise director Ryan was awesome and I even won a free excursion for my family in Cabo- yay!!!!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My kids absolutely loved the kids programs. My 7 year old begged everyday to go and to stay for Night Owls. My introverted 13 year old loved Circle C and went every night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
A+++ service all around from room Steward to bartenders. It was truly a stress free vacation

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was so absolutely clean. So much cleaner around the pool and waterslides than any water park I've ever been to. I never saw a mess not once

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Having 2 bathrooms was absolutely necessary for my family of 4 and saved us many times. It was quiet in my room and not too much rocking. My family loved the Family Harbour.

Ship tip

Make sure to get breakfast burritos at Blue Iguana

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Puerta Vallarta was probably our favorite port as we booked a water taxi and went snorkeling and saw dolphins and whales- it was absolutely magical

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
We took a water taxi to Stone Island and it was so much fun. We hung out at Letty's had some food and body surged the waves

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
We took a water taxi to the arches and the got dropped off at Pelican Rock to snorkel for a couple hours. The water was clear and the fish were colorful and beautiful. Remember to bring your own snorkeling gear if you don't want to book an excursion
