Lucas, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico;
San Diego
Taxes, fees, and port expenses of $110 per person are

Amateur chefs should be sure to check out
America’s Test Kitchen during days at sea
aboard the Oosterdam. Developed specifically
for Holland America Line, the program features
a variety of live demonstrations and interactive
classes. Continue your gastronomic voyage
with an arts, culture, and farm-to-table food
experience in Cabo San Lucas, during which
you’ll tour Los Tamarindos — a ranch that
specializes in organic produce — and help put
together a range of fresh salsas and a sit-down
lunch. If you’d prefer to leave the meal prep to
the professionals, foodie-focused excursions
are available at each port — as are plenty of
beach and water activities.

The Navigator of the Seas was recently

carefree cruise of all time. Highlights include an
expanded pool deck and the Riptide waterslide,
which features an exhilarating curve off the side
of the ship. There are plenty of dining options,
too, from quick Mexican fare at El Loco Fresh to
family-style favorites at Jamie’s Italian by Jamie
Oliver. And the stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay
certainly lives up to its name, with live music at
Captain Jack’s, chill out space at Oasis Lagoon,
and the tallest waterslide in North America at
Thrill Waterpark.
