I was surprised with a cruise for Christmas. It was absolutely awesome. Loved the staff, ports and the energy of the ship!! Mazatlan was my favorite port due to all the volunteers around the city guiding us all were to walk too. The ship was a little older, but we still enjoyed the cruise. The food on board was great as always. The staff at the port were super helpful. We signed up for the chefs dining and it was super fantastic. I find it very easy to get cabs, and transportation around all the cities we stopped at. Cabo San Locus was very much a port for young people, this was my lest favorite one due to all the people trying to sell you things and adventures. NCL staff, were very happy, and helpful on all days of our cruise. I would recommend this cruise to all families. We toured with our 11 year old and he was just super thrilled with the ports.
