Review summary
FAVORITE PART OF THE CRUISE WAS SITTING TOPSIDE OUT IN THE SUN, CLOSE TO THE BAR, MUSIC AND POOL AREAS. THE OUTDOOR MOVIE SCREEN WAS FUN AT NIGHT UNDER A FULL MOON, SIPPING MERLOT WINE AND MUNCHING ON SOME CHEESE A CRACKERS WE HAD FROM THE DINNER BUFFET. THE DINING WAS SUPERB, BOTH AT THE BUFFET AND FORMAL DINING. STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND ENGAGING, RESPECTFUL AND GENUINELY CARING. SHORE ACTIVITIES WAS FUN, WE CHOSE THE ATV TOUR/CAVERNS/TEQUILA TASTING.

Ship tip
GET THE DRINK PACKAGE. IT PAID FOR ITSELF THE FIRST DAY. EVEN IF YOU DON'T DRINK MUCH. GET THE MOBILE APP FOR THE CUSTOMS CHECK, THE LINE IS SHORT COMPARED TO THE NON-APP LINES. 5 MINUTES AND YOU'RE THRU. AN HOUR IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT.
