I really enjoyed this cruise, the destination was amazing and the crew was attentive.

5 out of 5
Embarkation was easy didn't have to wait in long lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Specialty dinning was excellent but the main dinning rooms food was delish.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The quizzes were my favorite, but the games were interactive and fun to play

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We had some rocky waters so one of the main shows was cancel. The others were good. There was a magician/comedian that was not very entertaining in either venue he played.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room steward was very attentive to my request. The waiters for the most part were good some better than others, but they remembered what we liked and didn't like.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It was an older ship, but maintained to par

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The only issue i had with the room is the shower curtain was too short and the bathroom floor would get soaking wet when I showered.

Ship tip

bring shower curtain rings - the shower curtains are too short and the bathroom floor get wet when you shower.

Another great Uber port!

Puntarenas, Costa Rica

5 out of 5
We took the tour of the Sloth and it was wonder. The bus trip was great, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Seeing the rescue center and meeting the volunteers was interesting.

Huatulco, Mexico

3 out of 5
We did the Mezcal Tasting, we were drove around on a bus saw a few sights but we were basically just across the courtyard from the port. Would have been better off to explore on our own and seen more of the area.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the Zipline excursion this was amazing, the crew was professional and safety was number one. It was a workout but well worth it. I would do this again!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
I had a later disembarkation because of my travel home so there was a lot of waiting.
