Review summary

Ship is big, well-maintained, and offers a lot of fun activities. Food could be better, and service was very good most of the time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

2 nights in the dining room were terrible. Sirloin steak should be missed. We found the buffet to be good, but we opted for salads & healthy fare. The burgers at the buffet did not look good; had pizza once & it was decent.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Average because there were activities (e.g. bingo, ice skating) that were very poorly organized. I would strongly suggest a chance for adults to ice skate without kids. We had been assured that with our names on the wait list we would skate the next day, only to be bumped again. The ice show is definitely recommended. Comedian is terrible.

Ports of call

Mazatlan, Mexico

3 out of 5

We walked around Mazatlan's Old Town. Didn't go to the Zona Dorada. Maz is a beautiful town, but run down more than the rest so many people don't like it. Visit the Malecon and the Cathedral.
