As always, Royal Caribbean ships are beautifully built and furnished. The crew was extremely helpful and friendly. Facilities clean and well-maintained.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Great food. Wait staff was superb. Always friendly and wanting to please. Can't say enough great things about the wait staff.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

good quality of entertainment. Couldn't get in to see the ice show due to limited seating. Events in Studio B tended to fill up fast, so hard to get a seat unless you get there pretty early.

RCI always has the best crews.

sometimes elevators a little slow, but what do you expect when there are 3000+ passengers using them?

Ports of call

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Very relaxing just walking around the cathedral area and the Malecon. Sand castle scuptures really nicely done. Don't miss Cafe de Tequila -- just off the main street, around the cornea from a friendly Huichol art shop.

Don't Miss: Cafe Tequila -- around the corner from the Huichol shop. Excellent food and salsa!

Mazatlan, Mexico

Taxi drops you off at a jewelry store.....hmmmm...does RCI get a kick back from their sales? Despite that, Diamonds International does have a great selection -- ended up buying a nice watch and pearl necklace there, tax and duty free.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

The port was built up a lot more than last time I was there. No complaints. Felt pretty safe walking around.
