Wonderful Cruise. We had a cabin with a balcony. Food was good and entertainment was mostly good (some a little boring). Best prices in port seemed to be in Puerto Vallarta (you will find a Walmart by the port) and the vendors by the beach were pretty "hungry" to make a deal. We took the Copper Canyon trip which was interesting and long. It took from 4:00 am until about 1:00 am round trip. The train had to constantly slow down for "soft spots" in the track. Loreto was a treat as we weren't expecting much of anything but it was very pretty with merchants that didn't chase after you saying "how much do you want to pay". The crew was good but not outstanding. The ship was nice and had a good flow to its design. As with most cruises you could pick at little things but over all it was one of the best we have been on and it was a great 10 days. We would recommend it as a great experience.
