Review summary

This was our first cruise so I don't really have anything to compare the quality of the ship to. It met our expectations.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Cafeteria quality food in Tiffany's restaurant. The formal dinning room quality was okay.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Lots of activities, however, few of them were of interest to me. The nightly shows were okay.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff was very friendly and willing to please.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The elevators were a little slow and I heard people who said they had cruised before complain that they were not as fast as other ships they had been on. The decor reminded me of a casino. The crew kept the ship very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Very plainly decorated. The reception of the complimentary in room movies was poor, and there were not many channel choices.

Ports of call

Ensenada, Mexico

3 out of 5
Took in the blow hole tour. Not much to it and you have to make your way through the gauntlet of vendors to see it.
Thumbs Up

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

3 out of 5
Spent most of the day on the waverunners in the bay. They are a kick. Cabo is a lot like other parts of Mexico I have visited. Would rather spend time in Hawaii. Might go back for the fishing.
