Review summary

I enjoyed this cruise so much!! Best cruise ever.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy embarkation! I was on the boat at 11:30 and enjoyed the rest of the day. As long as you have your boarding passes printed everything won’t be a hassle!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
AMAZING FOOD! There was so much options to pick from. For lunch you have the burrito bar, BBQ, Mongolian, Grill, Deli, Pizza and more. I also recommend trying brunch 8-1pm during the sea days. The dinner was fantastic and everyone is so helpful. I truly can’t think of one bad comment. 10/10

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The cruise director Lee is amazing! He has great energy and makes everything fun. The activities were amazing and carnival hub was helpful. My teenager daughters loved the teen clubs and made lots of friends. Also the parties were very fun and the dance moves were so fun and PG.

Ship Quality

The ship was VERY clean. The design is a little old but it didn’t bother me at all. I loved the classic look and it felt like the perfect size to me.

Ports of call

Mazatlan, Mexico

3 out of 5
I walked along the blue line in Mazatlan. It was helpful and it took you to the beach. There was police at every intersection. However we did get attacked by 3 stray dogs. There was no one there and we did not feel safe after due to the stray dogs. The streets are VERY clean not one single piece of trash. I would give it 5 stars if I did not get attacked by stray dogs.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Puerto Vallarta is very safe and such a beautiful city!! I recommend taking a taxi to the church and the downtown area ($5 per person).

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cabo San Lucas was amazing! I felt very safe in it. We walked to Medano beach and it took about 30 minutes it was a 1 mile walk. I recommend taking a water taxi if you do want to walk. The beach is AMAZING though, I loved the water.

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was very easy. It took a quick 25 minutes and I was out!

Great review. Glad you had a wonderful time and hope the stray dogs incident didn't cause permanent damage/injuries. Sounds like you are a fun/positive group.
