Review summary

Overall it was a fantastic cruise! We enjoyed our trip. Wish we could hear over the loudspeaker better, never understood anything, would of been better if the announcements were made and also been seen on the app. Disembarking was confusing and a mess and Ensenada was a waste of a stop.

Specialty food was a long wait to receive our food and drinks. Ocean Blue we paid for and it was not great. It was a waste of money.

My kids 10 and 12 decided not to go into the kids club. Thought it was boring We were hoping for fun themes and organized activities, instead it was just video games, bored games....

Not that great. Town was dirty and stinks, nothing to do unless you have a excursion. We don't want to go back. If i knew how bad this place was we would of picked a different cruise.
