Review summary

Don’t expect too much from the cruise. Most of the time is spent on board the cruise ship with about 6-8 hours in each port in Mexico. That’s enough time to run around with your head cut off and come back on the ship to have a drink and small portion meal.

What do you mean about class segregation? Like a Suites only area? How many machines per muscle group does a good cruise gym usually have?

Wow! I'm already feeling anxious because of the last minute port changed. Oh well, I'm out here now (sail 3/25). Plan to make the best of it.

Appreciate your details. Were the port times different from what you booked? If not, it’s not the cruise lines fault that the time was too short. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.

Sorry, you didn't enjoy your cruise. If you are looking to sail with younger people, try Carnival. If you want more time in Mexico, perhaps a land trips would be best.
