Review summary

We sailed on the Carnival Spirit. I was a great mix of passengers. The crew was very wonderful with our kids (boy 9 & girl 12); they really enjoyed the kids clubs. There were romantic spots for just my husband & I to escape to or there were tons of family friendly activities. Everyone in my family truely enjoyed our cruise and would go again tomorrow!

Ports of call

Manzanillo, Mexico

3 out of 5
Looking at the port there is not much to see, very industrial. However when you got into the city it was fun shopping. We did not choose to take a taxi or a shore excursion but from reports that we received from friends that did they were very worth the expense.

I had been to Mexico before and realized that it was economically depressed however I didn't realize how it would effect my kids. They were very saddened by the lack of things the people had in comparission to us. I would say that if you don't have money for a shore excursion,which can be expensive for a family of 4, then negociate a cab tour and save the walk of depression.

We had a blast! Learning from our Acapulco experience we walked around the flea market at the port area then hired a taxi to take us on a sight seeing tour. WELL WORTH IT! We ate at a local resturant owed by the cab drivers brother and got to have a very wonderful multicultural experience.
