Review summary

My first cruise experience was one of the best birthdays ever. I can't wait to do another. This time I will book a balcany room just for more views privately.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy easy, it took longer to walk up the ramp then to complete the boarding. Having you boarding documents and online checking made it easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I ate in the main dining room for breakfast and dinner. The food was good and the waiters were awsome.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We layer by the pool, walked the entire ship, shopped and went to the casino. I won at the slot machine. I got 6 scratchers and won on three. I put 3 tickets to be pulled, they pulled my name to spin the wheel, yes I won 75.00. Happy birthday to me.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
80s show was good, the cruise director Mel was awsome. She is the perfect person for that job.

Children's Programs

No childern weekend

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the staff were awsome and very helpful. Very kind and friendly crew. I loved that they were from different countries as well. All of the different accents was cool..

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Older ship for sure, but very well kept. I actually felt bad for the cleaning crew it seem like they never rested. They kept the entire ship tip top..

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
A little small, we made it works for three ladies. Very very clean all the time. The only complaint but really a complaint was the bathroom smell. Its understandable since we were in tight quarters. Stick ups a poopary really helped.

Ship tip

Just make sure your ready for lots of fun...

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
I didn't do anything in Long Beach since I lived and worked there most of my life. I live on Las Vegas now so it was nice to have cooler weather

Ensenada, Mexico

4 out of 5
The port was fine. We too a tour van to the blowhole and shopped. That was a adventure for sure, but good in all. Out young tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to shopping. He gave us good places to buy stuff, I got 3 bottle of Tequila for 110.00 and they gave me 2 shot glasses for free. The only stressful thing were all if the people trying to get you to buy from them. Hell I needed a Xanex. The food was wonderful, I had tacos.

Disembarkation
