Review summary

Only take this ship if you live near enough to Norfolk to not have to fly in / hotel. If you do, there are MUCH better options.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

They cancelled a port of call due to a maintenance issue, so we had an extra day in San Diego. No need to rush through a cattle call, so we took our time boarding.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Cabin was as expected. It was located above a disco which pumped music until 1:30. Also the restaurant outside was only supposed to be playing music until it closed (just after lunch), but they cranked loud music throughout the evening, in fact, we had to go down at 3am to ask them to turn off the music. All told, asked 4 times. Eventually security came up and verified our issue. Finally, the weed and cig smoke from the balconies adjacent to us was constant, despite a "$500 fine" being threatened.
