5 out of 5
As always, the staff are friendly and accommodating. The buffet crew was exceptional! Especially the sous chef. He shared several recipes with me!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Our ship is scheduled for dry dock this year. It would be nice if our cruise had been after the renovation. But all in all, everything was fine. A little wear was showing but the Inspiration is well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin was predictably small but comfortable. The bed was placed a little strange: A side of the bed was the only part that was against a wall. The head was out in the room. Made it difficult for me to get in and out when my husband was sleeping. Also, the pillows fell off the bed. Our state room steward, Wawan, was wonderful. He took care of every request and need we had.
Ship tip
The Inspiration is one of the smallest in their fleet, so don't be worried about getting around. The size is convenient because you're never far from anything.
Always enjoy Catalina! We walked around the town this trip. Very quaint and the homes are interesting. Before, we enjoyed the scenic trolley that goes around the town. Love, love, love the tours at the Casino.
Ensenada is one of our favorite places to visit! It's a safe and friendly city. So much to see! Wine tours; La Bufadora; the Malecon walk along the beach; shopping (leather items at reasonable prices); the best tacos in the world; horseback riding on the beach; marine, art and historical museums; etc... We have done it all and enjoyed it all.
