Review summary

We did the New Year’s Eve cruise 2018 for the first time and were immediately hooked. So we did it again for 2019! Just booked for 2020! This is an annual family friendly with plenty of adult and kids activities that I hope to do forever. Everything you need in one place and a kick ass New Year’s Eve party. I can’t say enough about how much we enjoy this cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The new terminal is great and made an already painless process even better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Can’t complain about the food. The servers are always great. It’s amazing how fast they learn what you love!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows are all great! But I only gave four stars because sometimes the casting just doesn’t match the theme.

Ports of call

Catalina Island, California

4 out of 5

No excursions. But Catalina is a good place to stretch your legs and if you need something from the store you can grab it while you’re there.

Thumbs Up 3

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5

Always love Ensenada. It doesn’t change but I don’t know I would want it to. Next time I want to venture out a little bit behind just walking the main streets.
