We sat at a floor to ceiling picture window, and ate marvelous Italian food for two delightful hours. The restaurant is cunningly decorated. We were sorry that we could not return because it was booked the rest of the cruise, and the Chinese restaurant, Jade Garden was entirely booked for the whole cruise by the time we realized that we would like to try it. Creme brulee fans heaven is on the Crystal Symphony. Before we say anything, we have to tell you that the shore excursion personnel were very good.
Lets be honest.
We have been to Mexico numerous times and we took this cruise for the ship and not the ports of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, or Ixtapa which is just as well. The weather was oppressive, and the shore excursions were redundant. However, for first time visitors to Mexico, all of the requisite excursions were offered. As usual the excursions were not cheap. AND in Mexico in particularly it is very possible to make your own arrangements with local guides.
