Review summary

Had a good time overall. Disappointed in the quality of entertainment, food and cost of pretty much everything. Excursions were way too expensive for what you get

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet had same breakfast every day & food was not kept hot. Was either under cooked or over cooked. Beverages were outrageously expensive

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Layout was ok. Would’ve liked beverage stations on more floors than lido deck. Everything is in need of maintenance and refurbishing

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Happy with the room. Good size for 2 adults

Ship tip

Don’t expect a luxury cruise. Fun relaxing time though

Fun port. Able to walk to town for shopping & entertainment

Thumbs Up 1

Mazatlan, Mexico

2 out of 5

Only had a shuttle to a small shopping area at the end of the dock. Would’ve had to take a taxi to town. Areas around the port didn’t look safe to walk so just stayed onboard Excursions too expensive
