Review summary

The ship was COLD.  AC was on the entire time and it was December!  Sailed this past May and we froze then also.  The staff are pleasant and very hard working.  The food overall was not as excellent as on other cruises, however, it was good.  Housekeeping were very diligent and pleasant.  The ship is smaller and less crowded which makes it very nice.  Good times were had by all.  A handout about the fares and workings of the taxis would be a great help!

Christmas show was disappointing. Great for the little kids and their parents but for the rest of us, we expected a show.

Nicely made up twice a day. Small but we were only there to sleep and shower. Greatvalue!

Ship tip

Try more than one app. at dinner and try something new! Food is great experiment, it costs nothing extra. Tip the personnel . They really work hard and the end of cruise tips are shared with 900 staffers. We all carry $5.00 bills to share with staff who do extras for us.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Catalina Island, California

Rent a golf cart to see more of the island than just the frontage street. Parasailing was awesome!

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
Rent a taxi for $15.00 per person to go to the Bufordora, you can stay longer and it is half price of tour price. Best shopping is there.

I've cruised in the December and January months and always take a sweater/pullover because I know it's gonna be cool.
