Review summary

The Ship was great. It navigated beautifully although the Ocean was extremely calm so I could not gage it in rough weather.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Attendants from India at our table were superb.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Could not hear the Carioke singers because of the extremely loud music.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
My Cabin stewart was not up to par. Everytime (not often) I asked something he would say that he had a lot more cabins to take care besides mine. I believe he might have been a bit overworked. Also everything I asked was first "no" and then it would be done. Waste of time. The Reception was OK for the most part. The Casino Royal was good with the Rumanians a bit uptight inspite a many tips. The Indian crew in the Restaurant on level 5 was Superb.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ports of call

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Great tour of the city, good restaurant, Great Church. It would be nice to add a Museum and/or a Gallery.
Don't Miss: The Church, the Restaurant, the Light House.

Mazatlan, Mexico

3 out of 5
Lots to see and very nice for the first 4 hours. The Tour lasted much longer that planned with old people having to stand for one hour and one half in a store because we were not allowed to stay on the bus as promised.
Don't Miss: The Church and the show.

Pros: The Large Junior Suite, The Ship itself, The Food, The Casino Royal, The Stores

Cons: The problems at embarkation. No wheelchairs available. Attendant not helpful.
