Review summary

This is the 5 th Mexican cruise for us, You will NOT go hungry. Some places to eat are better than others, by far! For some reason on this cruise the employees did not seem as happy as they do on other cruise lines. The ship is older and the entertainment is not as good as other lines i have been on. Bingo prizes are much smaller than other cruises. I believe they use Bingo to make up a lot of profit for them. The pool was closed 2 times due to "accidents", and that was unfortunate. But for the price i would do it again noting what i said above.

It was older and our patio furniture did ot match. Two different chairs and that bugged me

Ship tip

Do not buy the internet package it is very expensive and VERY slow! Do buy the dining package the french restraunt is amazing! Cagneys and La Cucina also very worth the money! Make reservations for those restraunts before you go, or you will be eating at 9:00.
