Review summary

Ship was small but good price for 3 people to get away. First time going on christmas time so it was nice having christmas decorations and theme activities. The pictures they take were not very good. It seemed that they were not even trying. Overall good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There was not many activites on the boat especially when we came back from catalina and ensenada. Pool was nice but very cold. Not many shops. Pictures were awful. It seemed that they were not trying to take a good picture, especially the Santa. Not a good choice for Santa.

The Fun Shops

2 out of 5

Not enough shops and the ones they had did not offer great deals.

Awful, the Santa was awful and the photographer didn't even try to take good pics.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Director was great. Went to a couple of show and they were ok. We got the wifi bundle and it did not work. Very dissatisfied.

Children's Programs

I did have a child with me but did not use the program. The times I wanted to they we on a break or eating or doing things I can do with her so she just stay with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was great. Excellent room stewards and restaurant waiters.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Small, nothing too exciting. I did like the Christmas decorations. It was clean all the time.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was very clean, a little small for 3 people. Bed not comfortable and the option for the third person was not used. We had a toddler so we could put her on the high bunk bed.

What was not very good about the photos? My encounters with the photographers were very pleasant. Some pictures I didn’t like how I looked and some pictures I loved how I looked. Can’t all be perfect.

Wonderful cruise

So-so Baja cruise

It sucked! Ship is old, Food wasn't that great and crew's attitude was poor and guest services.!!
