Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

3 out of 5

the land part of the land and sea was a joke-we felt rushed and it was a waste of time and money. Spend less money and arrange your own tour on the dock.Renting a wave runner was fun but expensive ($90 an hour) and the guy bringing me back to the marina wanted 5 bucks that was not part of the deal.Partying in Cabo was fun but they want you back on the ship-to pull back out to sea and cruise around only to come back at 7 am the next day-they want you to spend your money on board

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

tequila factory tour was fun but you can get it cheaper off the boat. Lanscapes are much prettier in PV than in cabo

Pros: balcony,free room service,ice cream cones 24/7,towel animals, nice staff,daily schedules delivered to your room,some of the musicians

Cons: land and sea tour in cabo,confusing time changes,lowering spa prices as week went on and you had already paid full price, inability to use spa treatment pools for just one day(they required you purchase the whole week, very noisy, telephone wake up system very confusing
