Review summary

It was the perfect short getaway. The only negative thing I can say is that on day 3 we ordered breakfast to our room using one of those door hanger things. The breakfast was never delivered but they also had some sort of staff drill that morning so I'm sure it got lost in the shuffle. I just made my husband go up to the buffet and grab food. As long as I didn't have to leave the room, I was fine lol! Overall everything was amazing and it was just what I needed for a short reality escape.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy. We had check in at 2:30 and brought two suitcases. There were minimal lines and we were able to go straight to our room.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was good and service was excellent. A little slow in the dining rooms but worth the wait. Bars were great too. Alchemy Bar was my favorite spot, usually pretty quiet and the bartender had a great sense of humor.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Even in December the pools and hot tubs were crowded. It was fine, I didn't want to use them. There was always somewhere to hang out. I really liked the library. Very quiet and fun to play games.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Comedians were very funny. The guy in the piano bar was wonderful.

Children's Programs

Didn't bring the kid!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone met us with a smile. I can't say enough about how wonderful the ship's staff is. I wish I could give them 10 stars.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I had the layout memorized pretty quickly. And nothing was dirty or worn down enough to catch my attention.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
So look the room is what it is. I wasn't disappointed by it because I knew what I booked. I like the location because it was close to two elevator banks and still pretty quiet.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Catalina Island, California

Beautiful. A wonderful place to walk around.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
I don't recommend walking around here if you don't want to deal with people trying to get you to buy things. We did the Wine Country Tour and it was sooo much fun. The tour guide was really funny and by the time we hit the second winery pretty much everyone on our bus was buzzed.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again, really easy. They've made the disembarkation process super easy. We were off the boat and in our car within like 15 minutes.

Yep, I remember writing everything down exact. Even made my husband double check. Could have been kids, idk but again not a big deal. It's what husbands are for :D

That's very rare. I've never had them not show up. Did you remember to write your stateroom #?
