Going on the ship, I did not expect much due solely on reviews but I really loved and enjoyed my experience! The food was good, nothing to complain about. It's all included in the cost, so what is there to complain about. All you can eat. The crew members were really nice and friendly which is a major plus. There are many activities on the ship from casino, bingo, night clubs, comedy shows, singing/dancing shows, etc. Here is a tip, if you drink, it is better to buy a bottle for your room because i had a few mixed drinks on the ship and it did not get me buzzed at all. Normally, two AMFs would knock me out but i had 3 from the bars on the ship and I did not feel a buzz. So order a bottle for your room. Prices are decent, but here is the catch, you would have to order the bottles through room service. If you buy a bottle from their store on the ship, you wouldn't even be able to drink it until your trip is over and you're off the ship! We bought a bottle through room service (hennessy privilege) for $110 through room service so when we arrived to our room first day, our bottle was already ready for us in our room. If you were to buy it from their store on the ship, it would cost $100, so not much difference cost wise. So remember, buy bottles through room service because the drinks from the bars will not get you buzzed.

For our excursion, we booked through an independent excursion not the ships because the ship did not offer ziplining which was what we wanted We booked through http://shoreexcursioneer.com. The package includes, ATV, ziplining and hanging ropes. My boyfriend and I decided to share an ATV so the total for us two was $190. In the event that we rode our own ATV, the cost would have been $150 total each

Ok, so when you book through them you will receive a confirmation and directions of where and when to meet your tour guide. So when you get off the ship, once you pass through the entrance, you will walk to your left. You will see a white building, so just keep walking towards there and you will see your tour guide holding a sign with your name on it. He will then walk you to where their office/facility is. You will sign some papers and they will keep your license until the end of your excursion. You pick your helmet and then they will get the ATVs ready for you and the other members. Once everyone is there, you hop on your ATV and then ride to your ziplining spot. Please remember to bring/wear your sunglasses! because the ride is a ltitle over an hour. I was not aware it would take that long. So your sunglasses is very important. I would even consider goggles because of all the dust and particles that will get in your eyes. You may even want to wear a cloth to cover your face because by the end of the excursion, my face had dust and it was dirty all over! I was not excited to walk around ensenada with a dirty face after our excursion, but oh well.
