Ship Quality

For an older ship it was great looking, and very well kept. Always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I loved the room, great size, very comfortable bed, the AC was a bit too cold and I wished it had a better control system but overall was wonderful.

Ship tip

Take walkie talkies with you to communicate with friends and family. Internet was not worth buying it since it was really slow connection.

Great port, easy on and off. Friendly and helpful staff.

Ensenada, Mexico
