Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

wican and suharos were very nice and by the second day knew what we would order and they even had a specialty buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes made for my wife every day.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

we didnt go to as many shows as we usually do this was our first cruise totally alone. we spent time with each other and we weren't always running from show to show or galley,or activity like we do with our grown kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

eating at the lido deck the wait staff always asked if we needed more coffee or juice.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

we had the perfect room on level 1 in the middle. we walked out of our room and we were by the front/excursion desk. One floor up was the casino,and using the elevator to the lido deck was the buffett.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ports of call

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5

this is the 5th time to puerto vallarta and it keeps getting better. we jumped of the ship and walked to walmart to get really cheap shirts,keyrings,bags,TEQUILA,etc.then went to the empty pool for a few hours (pass the sunscreen)then went downtown late 2:00 or so and wandered the streets and explored further south in the city to the river. came back and the next day went to 2 if by see snorkeling and swimming on beach (awesome i wouldn't leave the water)

Don't Miss: "2 if by sea" was well worth it, the tour guide david was the best, the beach was great.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5

brother has a beach house in cabo so we rarely do much in cabo, other than visit him and swim in the ocean.
