Review summary

This was our first cruise! 2nd Cruise will be in April. Best experience ever! Everyone on the ship crew/guest were great. Can’t wait to do it again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fast. Walked right onto the ship within 10 mins of arriving. Faster to the fun is worth it!

Glad you liked it! We love doing the cruise thing as well. I like Cozumel, but Progresso was a little disappointing for us. I grew up in SoCal, not far from Tijuana. A few ports give me that feeling of being back in Tijuana 😉. A lot of times we go just for the cruise. Leaving in January on Glory, second cruise on that ship. The inaugural voyage was our first cruise on the Glory.

It's normal that sellers are pushy at most ports- you learn to say no thank you or ignore and keep walking.
