Sapphire to Mexican Riviera

[lovevacadays]

It's been three years since I cruised the Mexican Riviera on the Sapphire. They have some really good fares this fall so thinking about doing it again. I love the Mexican Riviera - have been 5 times. Just wondering how the Sapphire is holding up and anyone with recent experiences on her?

Also, have done balcony cabins on the Sapphire but never a mini-suite. How are the mini-suites - worth the extra $$?

The ship is in Pristine condition. :)

 

Minis are the same as any other Grand Class ship. ;)

Glad to hear. I love the Sapphire.

I haven't done the Mini's on any of the ships. What's your thoughts on them?

We've been on the Sapphire twice and are considering it again for

this fall. The minis are fine. We've had minis on Emerald deck [fully covered balconies] and a mini on Dolphin deck [completely uncovered and

unprivate balconies] Both types of balconies were fine. Depends on

what you like -- laying in the blazing sun or if you don't like the sun as

much...

 

We love the ordinary cabins as well. It's all good.

They are indeed very nice with the extra area for a couch, extra TV,Bath.

If you can get a good price on a mini then they are great but sometimes the price difference is not worth it. :)

If you enjoy time relaxing in your stateroom, the mini-suite is a great choice. The mini-suite offers a sitting area that does not really exist in regular staterooms. The larger bathroom with a tub also makes the cruise experience more enjoyable.

 

I did not care for the open balcony on the Dolphin deck and have a mini on the Emerald deck for our next cruise. If you are traveling during a lower cost time of year, the mini-suite is a terrific value. Enjoy your cruise!
