Review summary

Overall great experience . My favorite stop was Puerto Vallarta. We had another couple with us, and it was their 1st cruise. It was nice to be able to show them the ropes and of course they fell in love with it!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Pretty short line and we got through it quickly. It helped that we had everything completed on the Medallion App ahead of time .

Cabin / Stateroom

Was a little small for a balcony , but fine for the two of us. It was a connecting room and I heard no noise from connecting room. Liked size of closet.

Ship tip

The internet was slow to nonexistent, so don’t rely on it . I personally didn’t mind the disconnect . The elevators were packed and slow. Took stairs most of the time.

Stayed the night before cruise at the Crown Plaza. Pricey but I liked the convenience to port, restaurants and watering holes. We walked everywhere which was nice.
