Sail Date: Dec 2019
Cabin: Ocean View

First off, the ship is new and definitely nice. I appreciated knowing everything would be somewhat clean and barely used.

Rooms were decently sized and our ocean view on the 1st floor had 2 bathroom for just the two of us, which was appreciated.

However, some big gripes. They charge extra for a lot. Specialty restaurants, items on the menu every night, internet is a huge rip off, $1.25 per game arcade, and much much more. I was not willing to spend extra for anything and it really felt like 40% of the experience was missed. While I know that isn't true, it just felt that way and that I was missing out on a lot of what the ship had to offer.

Ocean View

Brand new and two bathrooms. Spacious enough and beds were comfortable.

Port Reviews

Cabo San Lucas

Go to Monkey Business bar and Taco Guss around the corner for a great hole in the wall bar and amazing tacos.

Mazatlan

Without an excursion. There is not too much to see or do in this town.

Puerto Vallarta

It was pouring rain which was unfortunate. Still found a good brewery and some good tacos.
