We booked 5 staterooms to accommodate our extended family vacation. Everyone had a fabulous time and we enjoyed the excursions and the weather was perfect! The drawbacks for us were that everything seemed to be focused on trying to get you to spend more money. The upgraded restaurants, art auctions, photo packages and even the galley tour involved a stop at the cook book sale counter in order to exit the kitchen. It generally took a long time to get drinks. It seems like they are not encouraging you to use your drink package, maybe because there are so many specials for the sip and sail. The service was good most of the time and there were a lot of activities. I would have loved to have had an option for a lecture on Mexico during the cruise. Our family loved everything as this was their first time on a cruise ship. My husband and I cruise often so we are a little pickier. All in all, we had a great time.
