Review summary

This cruise was for our honeymoon. We had a great time, but by the 6th day-- we were ready to get off the ship as we ran out of things to do on the "At Sea" days. As for the ports: Cabo San Lucas was great! We enjoyed swimming with the dolphins (highly recommend!). We also enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Cabo Wabo. Our second stop at Puerto Vallarta wasn't as exciting. It was a bit "dirty" and the water at the beach is truly unswimmable.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was pretty excellent. The steak was tasty- good flavor.They always had vegetarian options also. Our waitress- Iryna- was excellent! Their desserts were amazing-- especially the Warm Chocolate Melting Cake. YUM!

Entertainment

The broadway style shows were fun and exciting. It gave us something to do at night.

Everyone was very friendly.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

It took us a little time to get used to the ships layout-- even getting "lost" a few times (even with a map-- some hallways are blocked!). But the staff was very helpful in pointing us in the right direction. The decor is fun and the ship was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We had a balcony on the back of the ship. It was a bit rough back there! The balcony was a little dirty upon arrival into our room-- so I had to wipe it down with Lysol Wipes. Overall, the room was in good shape. TV was fairly small.
