Great service and wonderful staff

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
This ship was too big for my liking. My cabin was in forward section and it took a long time to get to the elevators. Next time I'll know to book something closer.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Inside cabin was nicely laid out and comfortable.

Ship tip

Book early and take advantage of selecting a cabin close to the elevators.

What can you say - embarkation sucked due to the tight restraints going on due to COVAD19

This was a tender port and the crew did an excellent job in getting us off and back on again.

Mazatlan, Mexico

Took a neat tour here of the surrounding area - really enjoyed it.

My favorite port and Mexican destination. What isn't there to like?
