Review summary

Don't Take unless you have no other options. Choose another Cruise Line or at least another ship. SHip is falling apart, food is poor, activities limited. Ensenada is limited in activities of interest.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

smooth process to board ship, had to wait to get to rooms.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

food was substandard and has upcharges for everything you might want.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

same old stuff.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

small ship = small, cheap entertainment.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

I have cruised a lot, this cruise team seemed to have a lot of Russians or Eastern Europeans who speak in a blunt manner that comes off as rude.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

old ship, broken elevators, elevators that would not stop on our floor due to broken buttons, tiles falling off walls, broken mirror walls, etc.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

cabin was fine, ship is old so not enough balcony rooms.

Ship tip

pick another Cruise line or definitely another ship.

Every ship gets inspected several times a year by the CDC and if there was a serious problem then the ships would be condemned. All you people that say the ship is falling apart don't have any idea what you're talking about.

Wow. So sorry you had such a bad experience. Glad we had the time of our lives on all of our many cruises on this very ship. We always find lots to do, love the many food choices, especially since the 2.0 upgrades with Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana, Red Frog. Definitely didn't sound like your cup of tea. Going again in a few weeks. Can't wait!
