Review summary

We were very impressed with the ship. I guess we didn't look very closely at the pictures of it before we left because we were surprised and excited to see that there were pools and hot tubs in 3 different places! It was wonderful because we didn't have an issue at all finding a place to hop in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We loved the buffet! The food was great and there was always plenty of room to sit down. We also ate in the dining room and it was nice, but we enjoyed the variety of the buffet.

We loved that there was always something to do! We didn't attend everything. But came close! The shows were very entertaining and involving.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We stayed in a porthole room and weren't expecting much. We were very surprised to find out that with the portholes, the room actually felt more spacious because of the extra 3-4 feet that is there for the portholes. How nice!

Ports of call

Ensenada, Mexico

We had understood that the excursions were cheaper once we reached the city so we didn't purchase them on the ship. I would recommend paying for your excursion on the ship. We attempted to purchase the blow hole tour and after waiting for about 45 minutes they refunded our money because there hadn't been anyone else at that time that purchased it and they didn't want to waste the gas on just 2 of us. So we just went shopping. It was still a nice experience.

We didn't do any excursions here. But we sure did enjoy relaxing on the beach and soaking up the scenery. The shops there are adorable and everyone there was very nice to us.
