Review summary

If you want to feel like you are trapped watching a week long comericial this is the cruise for you. They even walked through the dining room trying to sell us stuff while we ate.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Seemed organized and ran smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was good. But the service was very poor if you were not buying a lot of alcohol

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
The activities on this ship would bore your 80 year old grandma. And everything was geared toward selling you something

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The comedian told jokes that my 5 year old had told me in the past. He was not prepared

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
The staff quickly saw how was spending lots of money on booze and who was not and ignored those that were not big spenders

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin was bigger than I expected. There was a drip in the shower that kept me up at night and the conditioner despencer was broken.

Ports of call

San Diego, California

4 out of 5

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

1 out of 5

Mazatlan, Mexico

3 out of 5
The Salsa Salsa excursion is not worth the price.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

3 out of 5
