Since taking such advantage of the posts on this site when planning my trip I felt I owed my "fellow cruisers" the benefit of my experience as well. I hope you find this review useful:
A little about myself, my family and our cruise experience: We are a 40ish family with two kids (boy=12 and girl=9). We've cruised 3 times prior on RCCL's Monarch of the Seas and Navigator of the Seas. We've only cruised the Caribbean prior to this.
Our trip: March 9-17, 2005 on the Carnival Spirit. San Diego - Acapulco - Ixtapa - Manzanillo We sailed with several friends. ( a group of 12 of us)
