Embarkation

Had faster to the front. When it was our time we walked right on board and into our room.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food quality was a little down from the last cruise. Wait staff wasn’t quite up to snuff, but still a great experience.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Bingo was a little disappointing as it was over very quickly. Fitness center is excellent and underutilized. Lee is a great cruise director!

Entertainment

Shows were excellent and top rate singers. Saw two comedians. One was very funny, the other average.

Children's Programs

No kids with us.

Thumbs Up 5

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

4 out of 5

Took a tour. Glass factory was interesting. Rest was uneventful. Dropped off at Cabo Wabo where drinks were cheap and strong and the band was excellent.

Thumbs Up 2

Mazatlan, Mexico

4 out of 5

All inclusive resort was a little below par. Drinks were watered down and we were constantly pestered by salespeople selling trinkets, but at least they were required to stay behind a rope to separate us.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Signature Swim with the Dolphins was fantastic.
