Review summary

While it was certainly better than sitting at home, I wouldn't do it again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
No problems getting on the ship. Walked right on. No line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food was just lousy. I didn't eat anything the entire time that I could look back on and say was really good.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
jacuzzi's were overcrowded. Never got a chance to get in one. Cool weather on this route made a sun deck and pool of limited use. Mini golf areas was windy and cold.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Cruise director was talented at getting people motivated to participate.

Children's Programs

Ship tip

If you are going to take this cruise, I would recommend taking it in the summer when it's warmer. That will open up more possibilities for spending enjoyable time outside. I wore a sweater the whole time and a big attraction on this ship is the sun deck and pool.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

3 out of 5
No excursion here. Easy to get on and off though.

Catalina Island, California

2 out of 5
We took a tour of the island. There was one nice view of the cove. I don't understand why people go to this island at all. Maybe it's a good diving spot?

Ensenada, Mexico

2 out of 5
This was kind of a silly port to put on a cruise. I woke up and looked out side to see an industrial shipping port with a bunch of shipping containers stacked high and a Sears department store. Walking around, it was just a little city with not a lot going on. The big draw was a water blow hole about an hour away.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Just walked right off - but I did purchase Faster to the Fun which allows you to skip the line.
