Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Not impressed this trip. The food was excellent on the same cruise last year at Christmas.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Outdated with singing/dancing routines, a ventriloquist act. Price gouging in on board shops and photo shop. Don't care for trivia games, bingo, art auctions.

Downtown shops are repetitive. Take any city bus to see the outskirts. Get off anywhere and walk around in the quiet areas. Flag a bus down and you'll get picked back up. Only 7-8 pesos per trip!

Pacifico Brewery tour is available free and a taxi or walking distance from the ship. Must call & reserve in advance. All the beer you want after the tour with a magnificent view from the top of the tallest building.
