We picked this cruise because of the itinerary. The ship is very small and a little dated. The theming is bizarre to say the least. Food was average, the staff was AMAZING. The only complaints were the millions of screaming babies and little kids all in the pools and hot tubs... The adult Serenity area was jammed packed and that area was small.
But we loved going to Puerto Vallarta - that was an amazing stop. I wish the cruise would have done a overnight stop there.
The Alchemy Bar and the bartenders were great on this ship. The dining room staff were amazing and our stateroom guy was amazing. Again this was an OK cruise, we have just gotten spoiled on the new bigger ships like the Vista. What made this cruise was the staff being so nice and friendly and we met a bunch of new friends while hanging out at the bars on the ship.
This is a very poor and scary place. Tons of police and military police.
