Affordable worth it price. I miss the tropical beach weather so we decided to do the 7 day cruise in mexico. A day in every port wasn't enough! There's so much things to do. During sea day we were able to do a lot of stuff although I must say there's isn't much for couples. Sea day would be so much if we're traveling with family or friends. Only elegant dinner, spa and pool lounge was enjoyable for a romantic gateaway in the ship. Everything was fine until we're on our way back to los angeles (long beach) port. The ship's direction was against the waves so imagine how rocky it may have been. It was the worst for me. It felt like I was drunk the whole time. Especially at night we could hear like heavy metal dropping and while rocking heavily. It was the worst. There's 3 days left in ship before we arrive home port so those days were my only complaint. To think i have meds with me too. I just think it would have been a nice vacay without the dizziness. Lol. But overall it was ok and fun. Another thing i would suggest to get a cabin 6th or higher floor and in the middle to avoid being dizzy all the time or just so you won't feel everything moving esp with kids! The highlight was the last night too when they had a big party with everyone and it was so much fun. Be prepared to gain so much weight bec food was very reasonable and tasty for me.

Cabin Review

Interior Upper/Lower

Cabin 1A

The cabin was pretty simple. Very small bathroom and shower. We thought we ordered a full bed but was surprised it was only a twin bed. The good thing there was a sofa bed that can be attached to it but it seems there were not on the same height. So my husband and I still feels like sleeping in a separate bed cause the middle has an uneven space and gap. I just love how BAGUS our cabin attendant attends to our needs and cleans our room perfectly. We appreciate how he would leave different animals made of towels each day! It was so much fun.

Port Reviews

Los Angeles

Embarkation was crazy. More like just a big space to get your information

Cabo San Lucas

Cabo was amazing! But they look at you like a $ sign. They are way too commercialize and over priced
