Review summary

Cruise was good, just no frills really. Other than food EVERYTHING costs. No free on board activities anymore. For tired of spending money to do anything interesting. Suggest bring good deal of cash to put on your sail and sign card so nasy cc bill does not show up.

Good food, but repetitive @ breakfast buffet. Encourage them to build it up a bit.

Ship has a 80's decco vibe. Needs some serious interior updating.

Steward was great. Did not expect the Ritz so not disappointed in the austere room.

Ship tip

Up on mini golf course looking fwd, best chairs to watch the ocean, read, relax before gets to busy.

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Catalina Island, California Did not visit port

Weather kept us away which seemed ridiculous. Was a beautiful day.

Ensenada, Mexico

4 out of 5

Excursions were lame. "Sight seeing" just led you to downtown where everyone preys on the tourists.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Kicking us out of our rooms and making is wait in halls for you to turn rooms sucks. Very invasive and made us wait quite some time.
