Thank you to the many cruise reviews that helped our experience wonderful. Embarkation was pretty normal (about 45 minutes) and the transfer from NCL was a good choice for us. The room was ready and we were on board enjoying the balcony by 2:00 pm. The free style cruising is probably something we won't do again as we really enjoy the service and extra attention that other cruise lines provide. The food was good in the dining rooms and the buffet was stocked with a variety of choices. We did enjoy the Blue Lagoon the 24 hour cafe on deck 8. It was just perfect for the afternoon pick me up. Thank you for the tip on the spa package for the week $150 per couple. We used the facilty everyday and sometimes stayed for hours. It was a perfect spot for whale watching as we were coming into Cabo.

We low keyed the excursions this time as we are headed to the caribbean in June. Cabo did the Lands End boat tour. Probably should have just rented a glass bottom boat and let them take us out. Mazatlan we did the city tour. It was nice but we are way too active for this tour. Clff diver is nothing like Acapulco. But thanks to a review we did book the Mieretes Island Eco adventure in Puerto Vallarta. Fantastic, whales, good snorkeling, Kayaking through the caves. Great time.

Disembarkation was not so great. We had a flight out at 1:00 so we decided to walk off as we didn't have many bags. Definitely should have gotten in line at 8:30 instead of 9:30. The line around the ship to get off took us 1 hour but the customs was quick and easy. Did the transfer back to the airport and as we were flying southwest and the first terminal we didn't have much of a wait in the bus.

Cabin location was ideal. Just across from the internet cafe so it was very quiet and midship made an easy way to either elevator.
