Review summary

AM retired military and think I should have received a military credit. Although I received an incentive cabin credit, it was divided between me and my roommate even though I paid for the entire cruise.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Arrived at 2:30 and there was no one to take my suitcase. Needed a wheelchair and they wouldn't allow me to take my suitcase on my lap. Worried they it would make it on the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Had sewer gas in room. Ships staff tried spray which didn't work. I figured out I needed to pour water down down the drains and this fixed the problem. Staff didn't know how to fix it. Liked safes that allow you to lock or unlock with a code and not a card. When 2 people share a room, only one person can open or lock the safe.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

2 out of 5
With difficulty walking, it is hard to get from bus to a wheelchair. I don't travel with a wheelchair.

Catalina Island, California

5 out of 5
Enjoyed that the ship made it possible for my rented mobility scooter to visit the port.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
Same as above.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Must have been 25 people waiting for wheelchairs to exit the ship and only a very few wheelchairs.

You can get a military discount if you fax a copy of you DD 214 separation papers before the cruise.
