Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining was excellent. It was nice to have a choice with the buffet which was good too. First time cruisers, so didn't know what to expect.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We sat next to the pool, enjoyed the free nacho bar and endless ice cream! Went to all the shows and games we could. SO much fun and a lot of options.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The ice skating show, comedy and musical dance shows where great! Able to get good seats. I liked that they had a few repeat throughout the week so we could make sure to go to everything!

Children's Programs

Did not bring our kids on this cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our dinning staff and cleaning crew where fantastic and really deserve a shout out.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Yes rooms are tight and a bit outdated. But the ship was huge and very luxuries feeling. Our room floor wasn't vacuumed and cleaned when we checked in, but it was promptly taken care of. I think they let our floor come in too early as the cleaners where hustling.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Rooms are small but not a big deal, we only slept in the room. Bed was decent and showers where hot. Cleaning crew was great and prompt with any requests we had.

Ship tip

They have distilled water available for your CPAP machine along with extenstion cords which was a PLUS

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Clean and orderly. Everything went smoothly

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

4 out of 5
Wasn't prepared for the amount of sellers pushing their merchandise. Beautiful area. The beach we walked to was nice, but we were at a very tourist area and the ocean had a lot of garbage washing up, which was disappointing. Wish we would of done a excursion at this port. Most expensive out of the three to visit at the shops.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
Beautiful! We booked a excursion, which was a bus ride touring the city and then a show. It was nice, but I wish we would of NOT done a excursion at this port and just did a walking tour/explore. They have volunteers and a map to help stay on the "blue line" for safety. So much we didn't see. The market was fun and good. Great place to buy jewelry and people watch.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Hands down my favorite stop. We picked at Razor excursion through the boat and it was FANTASTIC! Beautiful area and great chocolate shop.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy and fast. We paid to get on the cruise shuttle to take us back to the airport. Best choice.
