Date of Trip: November 27, 2004
Itinerary: Mexico-Western

If you are from the west coast and looking for a short trip to Mexico this is the trip for you. Embarkation was a breeze and the rest of the trip was pretty much the same.

The casino, for us at least was great we walked away with about 900.00 of the ships money. Friends that went with us took the ship for about 16 thousand, yes thats right, playing keno machines. We were playing texas holdem'

The best place on the entire ship..... Explorers lounge, met there for drinks before dinner and any events we went to as a group. Nice relaxing, good service. Smoking is allowed in one area here.

Service one night in the Santa Fe dining room was kinda of a bummer as our waiter and his helper were fighting, made more obvious when the management started showing up, by our table of course and the waiter went into an animated conversation that we all understood. The food was not so good here then again it could have been the trouble.

We had cabin B402, inside and were pleasantly surprised with how easy and well laid out it is. We had drawer space we never used. Suitcases went under the bed with no problem and plenty of hangers in the closet. The bathroom was small but very functional and the only thing we didn't like was how loud the sound was when flushing the toilet.

Made two shows Loved them both, good for shipboard entertainment. Hubby doesn't get into that kind of thing and even he had a good time.

PV- Dolphin encounter was a dream come true, something everybody should try once. Maz- Beach stop at stone Island, and very relaxing, guys stayed busy with ATV's and water toys I read a book.. Cobo-Marlin fishing we were the only charter boat out that day and caught a blue marlin!!!!!! Book through the ship as this is a short port stay. We did and it was a dream come true for the hubby.

FRIENDS FOR LIFE... All of us have booked that same cruise again for this year and expect to have an even better time this year.
