Review summary

Entertainment was fun. Food was not perfect but there is always something good to eat. Service was good. Clean boat so you feel comfortable. Ensenada has some nice excursions, but going down town was lame. Otherwise, the ports all have nice areas to visit. The biggest problem with this boat was the amount of hot tubs. 4 tubs for over 2000 people meant they were packed to the brim constantly. Pool undersized as well.

Embarkation

Good. These people have done this before. They do a good job.

Not all food was perfect but there was always something good to eat.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Pools and hot tubs, were not adequately sized for such a number of people so we could not use them. 4 total tubs for over 2000 people. 2 were flooded with literally a dozen people in each, while the adult only ones always had 6 to 10 in them while others were waiting to get in. Pool was crowded and is smaller than any pool I have ever seen in any hotel.

Entertainment

Shows were the best part of the ship.

Service and Staff

Staff seemed to really care. Cleaned well. Served well.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Everything was fine except the pools and exercise areas. Not enough space provided for the number of guests.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Bedroom was great. Do not like the toilette design with flush being behind the seat. Also, I did not care about watching TV, but there was information on there about the boat and the TV had problems showing the bottom of the screen so it was useless.
