OK but no free lobster served, mugged in Callao.

Review summary
I was in cabin 8076 which is a balcony at the back. Seems like all the cabins are a little small, but ok. I think because it was a 17 day cruise from San Diego to Valparaiso, Chile, they saved food by serving the inexpensive, but nutritious, food a lot. They have lobster but you have to pay to get it. Half of the shows were fair, but the production shows were very good. The average age was about 67 but I heard the Sun's cruise to Cabo before was a party cruise. As as transition cruise, the ports and excursions I heard were poor.

Ship tip
The dining room food is seldom better than the buffet. The dining room food is given foreign names to sound fancy but is often with sugar and wheat. At Callao, I was mugged about 8 blocks from the complementary bus dropoff, so take a taxi or excursion. The only got about 90 dollars.

Puerto Chiapas (Tapachula), Mexico
