Review summary

Ship was pretty good. Cabo stop was too short to do anything but eat and shop. Other two stops were enjoyable. I thought there would be some benefits to being a latitudes member. I experienced none on this trip. Service seemed to diminish as the cruise progressed. We experienced rough seas the last two days. Several passengers experienced motion sickness.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was OK. I've been on 6 cruises. This was in the bottom 2. Dining facilities were loud. Service fell off the last few days of the trip.

Some of the best shows I have seen on a ship.

Visit too short. Could only eat and shop. There was a gauntlet of vendors hawking their wares the moment we got off the boat. Cabo would have been a better experience had we spent the entire day there.
