Review summary

For our first cruise, it was an excellent experience and money well spent for a relaxing vacation! We are looking forward to our next cruise getaway.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy - went during our scheduled timeframe and had no wait at all!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All of the food was fantastic! I did not care for the continental breakfast but everything else was so good I didn't really care.

Spirit Dining Room

5 out of 5

The food and service was excellent! Table 320 represent!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I wish that there were more hot tub options as they were always full

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Vargus Mason in the comedy show was all right. We loved the 'Love and Marriage' show hosted by the cruise director Matey.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the service staff was excellent! Our room steward Made was very attentive and it was impressive that he knew me by name.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable considering its size. I was expecting the state room to feel "cheaper." Even the bathroom was nice and I expected it to feel small.

Ship tip

Invest in the Cheers! package, it is money well spent! Do it before you sail to save money.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Very easy to get in and out of, expensive parking but it was very convenient.

Catalina Island, California

5 out of 5
We did the scavenger hunt (on your smartphone) with a rented golf cart and it was a blast! I felt it was way better than going on the prescribed "scenic route" that the golf cart rental company hands out, it felt a lot more fun.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
The wine country tour was excellent!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did the express disembarkation. Even though it started late, it only took us an hour to get from our stateroom to our car, including the Customs check line.

Our cabin number is M43. It’s in the front and we prefer midship. Do you feel lots of movement being up front? I didn’t get sick last time we cruised but I am not familiar with the different areas and how much movement you feel.
