Our brother-in-law chose this cruise as it was all new for him. We had been to all the ports (Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas) except Manzanillo, at least twice and Cabo 4 times. It has been a while though and it was fun to see the ports again. They sure have grown, especially Cabo! We did only one Ship Excursion to the Turtle Sanctuary in Manzanillo and it was fine. The only other excursion we pre-booked was the Whale Watching in Cabo. (Excellent by the way. - Sunrider Tours). Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta we did on our own
Very nice NOT to have to fly to board a cruise. The embarkation and disembarkation procedures were very well done. We were through customs and in our Uber in minutes.
The ships crew was very nice. We especially were very appreciative of our waiter and asst. waiter as were very attentive to my wife who cannot eat very well due to a throat illness. They brought her small plates of different things, allowing her to taste and test to be sure she would be okay with.
We were in the Emerald Deck Partial Ocean View cabins. Actually very nice as you can look out your window over the top of a tender boat for a pretty good view. The bedding is nice except the pillows.
