Review summary

We had a junior stateroom and it really helped being on the boat for 12 days. The only criticism I would give regarding the food was that the steak in the main dining room was really subpar. You had to go to one of their specialty dinning rooms and pay for the meal to get a good piece of steak. Otherwise the food was great. Cost for drinks were really high. Ship was clean. The captain was very visible and we heard from him everyday at each port. Headliner shows were mediocre at best. Some were better but most were just ok. The stateroom attendant and dinning room waiter were exceptional. They could not have done more.

Loved our room. The attendant was wonderful. The only criticism would be the balcony. It was dirty and the glass railing needed to be cleaned. It was streaked and dirty.

Ship tip

We took many excursions that were through Trip advisor that were as good as the ship excursions but for less.

The shuttle from the dock brought us right by the train station to then drop us off far from the train and then we had to pay to ride a town bus to the train. This was a political maneuver by the cruise line and the town. We did not appreciate this.

Is it possible we bring drinks from outside?

Sailed on Vision of the Seas years ago from LA to the Mexican Riviera. 8 years ago and we still talk about our head waiter and his assistant.

Cost of drinks were really high??? Maybe you should have got an alcohol pack because I say they are well worth the extra money
