I'm a solo traveller on a Contiki tour and this was our evening activity last night.
High energy, alcohol-fuelled, singing, dancing, comedy. The performers costumes and personas were very appealing and entertaining especially in the first hour or so of our arrival - you could hear the show from the dock before embarking! Lots of clapping and cheering and all round a good time.
Dinner was below deck and had a dark and moody atmosphere which kept the theme alive throughout the entirety of our stay.
Food itself was average but the portion was decent. Cocktails were great! I only drank the margaritas but the strawberry daiquiri and pina colada were also very popular.
I will say once the show resumed after dinner I kinda lost the storyline and others in my group agreed. This made it feel like it went for too long as people started getting tired or a bit over it. Don't get me wrong, acting was amazing and there was some theatrics towards the end that I won't spoil which livened it up a bit but think they would've been better off doing more songs and crows work like at the start just keep engagement at a maximum.
Overall this was a great experience for all ages (although there's mild sexual themes) would also make a good bachelorette party or maybe something different for older couples and experienced travellers.
130 USD / 200 AUD / 2217 Mexican Pesos.
(Public price is higher) Whilst I did have a great time I would not normally pay that much however I did include a meal and unlimited bar so I suppose if you drink it probably works out okay price-wise.
