Needed to get away and booked this about 2 months prior to sailing. Food was typical major cruise line: not great, not horrible. My only real complaint was with the scheduling of activities. We had late dining and there were too many times where we couldn't see the production shows, go to trivia, or the game shows because of conflicts with dining.

We didn't get off the ship in Cabo. We took a tour with Flavor Teller in Mazatlan, had what the locals refer to has second breakfast. Excellent tour and food. Highly recommended. We took a cooking class in Puerto Vallarta with Cooking Vallarta. We went to the market with the Chef and then went to his home for the cooking lessons and lunch. Very informative and good food. Also, highly recommended.
