Review summary

Would not do this tour again ourselves. Seems if you have kids it would be the right one, as they definitely had the upper hand to pool area and halls.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Due to California traffic, we arrived later than we expected. Did not get much help carrying bags, when asked if we could use a cart was told no.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was good in the dining room. Service excellent there as well. The buffet was not as good as other cruises, staff was for most part horrible.

Onboard Activities

Seen much cleaner ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Decor is getting very old. Needs an update.

Ship tip

If you are looking for a romantic trip, this probably is not the right cruise. Kids were left to practically run the ship. They would run up and down the halls constantly and overtook the pool and hot tubs.

Thank you for your review, we did this a few years ago for my husband to get a taste of cruising. We won’t do again either, we are older and he walks with a cane. Had to be real careful not to trip over the kids running all over.
