Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The buffet was not very good. The food had an already been frozen taste and left me disappointed. The main dining room had the same problem. The staff was amazing though which helped. I did not like that to use the bottomless bubbles program for soda, you had to go to the bar. My kids were uncomfortable doing that and didn't making it a waste of money.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We had a lot of fun with the activities on the boat. Folding towels into animals, dancing, friends trivia, and the pools and jacuzzis were crowded but nice.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great musicians throughout the ship made the trip extra enjoyable.

Children's Programs

Because of age limitations we were unable to use because the kods couldn't go into each other's clubs.

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ports of call

Catalina Island, California

1 out of 5
Fun port. Lots to do without an excursion.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
Great port. La Bufadora was awesome! Great shopping too. Although the shopkeepers are aggressive and it can feel a bit like running a gauntlet.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy process and experience. Be ready to wait in line for about 30 mins.
