We started our Christmas Cruise on December 18th embarkation was very smooth we were on the ship within a 1/2 hour I think we got there right before it became super busy. We went straight to our cabin the time was around 1.00 and it was clean and made up. This was the first time we had a balcony cabin and we found it very nice LOVE IT!!!!!! Worth the extra money in my opinion. So we go up to the grill near the pool to grab a bite to eat while we wait for the sail away party. We had hamburgers which were really good. Now the fun part starts it starts pouring rain and we are told that they are having a problem with the ship and we will not be sailing at 4pm maybe around 7pm. Long story short we didn't leave the port till 12.30 am 12/19. We were waiting the next morning when we woke up to find out what was going to happen since we were 8 hours late getting started. We went and had breakfast at Aqua pretty good breakfast Eggs Benedict and then went walking around exploring the ship waiting to find out what our itinerary was going to be. Around noon we were told that we were going to go to Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo plus a we were going to get a 100.00 On board credit per room. I was fine with this and thought it was fair they replaced both missed ports with other ports so it was still 4 stops.

1st stop Manzanillo we went to Las Hadas hotel which they tell you is all inclusive for 30.00 per person for the day but it is actually 30.00 worth of food and drink which is expensive. I was a little irritated about them not being truthful after we took a 10.00 taxi there. We used 30.00 of it and I asked for my money back for the other coupon book which they gave back. We took a taxi down to La Audencia beach and hung out for the rest of the day ordering beers and eating some seafood. They charged 8.00 to rent the chairs and the umbrella but it was nice we enjoyed it.

2nd stop Puerto Vallarta we went to Las Caletas Island as a shore excursion. This place was absolutely beautiful we loved it and would go again in a second. I had a massage for 50.00 there for an hour while my husband hung out with the fun crew members from the boat we went over there on. Very tropical beautiful place a must do for those of you who like beauty good food massages, drinks and kicking back.
