I booked this cruise in 2016, it was a sip and sale promotion, with a low deposit. Celebrating our 25th year we had decorations and nice sentiments from the cruise line. I ordered flowers what were delivered our first day. They were fresh the entire voyage. The promotion was a great incentive and included most beverages. We live in the So Cal area, so getting to the port was easy. Embarkation was fast and friendly. Our stateroom was ready when we boarded and all that I anticipated. Mini suite w/balcony. We had plenty of room, in and out. Our luggage was quickly delivered, so setting up our room was done before we went up to get something to eat.
In addition to our sip and sale promotion, the cruise line gave us a complimentary specialty dining cover at SHARE. I unfortunately misread the scheduled date, but i was able to change it to a different date with no hassles. Excellent restaurant and exceptional food. Our server was a young girl from the Ukraine, she was very nice, very attentive. I highly recommend SHARE if you celebrating a special occasion or just for a fine dining experience. All of the cruise director's staff was great! Ana was fun and friendly. We loved all the dancing lessons.
We didn't care for the Magic To Do show so much, a little too long. Although I do appreciate all the hard work the performers put into the show.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony

Loved the mini-suite w/balcony. Plenty of room. The bathtub was great too and a good size for a hot bath. Our steward Fernando was very nice.
Port Reviews
Mazatlan
We hired a tour guide at the entrance to the port. He was great, honest, informative and safe. He took us throughout the city and to an excellent restaurant in the Golden Zone. He was recommended by one of the Mazatlan Volunteers, looking out for the cruise passengers who decide to adventure out on their own. I was very grateful for their recommendation.
Cabo San Lucas
I only give this review average because I was a little nervous hiring a water taxi to show is the beautiful bay. The guide was very nice and informative. Dropped us off at the beach where we had a nice breakfast at the Office.
