Review summary
Good: food ok, $20 upcharge for filet a shame but entres not good so worth the $20. Excellent filet.
Guy Fieries burgers almost as good as filet. Not kidding. Had it to do over I'd have eaten burgers all 4 dinners by the pool. Really work hard to accommodate gluten free. Sandwiches and pizza....very nice options. Updated decor, and not much of the stinky cruise ship smell that's become prominent. Easy ship layout. Room service nice in the am for coffee and fruit. Rock and roll show last night was awesome! Wish they'd repeat it....Id have seen it twice! That good! Yoga was also good. Nothing too crazy. Just a bunch of sun salutations. Good price at $14 w auto tip.
Bad: I keep getting stuck w late dining times even tho I book well ahead. Finally on third night we got in at 6, and it was only 2 of us. Matre'd was nice but ignored our name on list until we got a little pushy 3rd nite. Hated to do that. One night comedy good. Rest was xrated so we didnt go. We're from Vegas and just don't avoid that stuff. Few shows so disappointing in that arena. Very obvious fewer staff on board. Tables don't get bussed quickly though everyone is nice. Steward are great. Rest are kind of robotic. I would be too I guess with all the sheeple and no time off for 6 months. Its a hard life. Ensenada is a craphole but we knew that ahead. Prefer 2 days in Catalina but there's that international rule. I think our next trip will be 3 nights in Catalina and skip the cruise.
The buffets are a mass of humanity with women griping at kids in multiple languages flicking long unwashed hair in your plate.
