Review summary

All in all it was a good time. It’s a good cruise to do if you are doing a cruise for the first time to try it out. The internet package was very disappointing. I did the middle internet package and I couldn’t text or use any music app. Make sure you download music before you go to listen to in your room. The ship appearance good use some updating. Other ships are nicer looking.

The pools are small and the water was hot like a hot tub not cool and refreshing.

Entertainment

The shoes we saw were entertaining. The trivia games we played were fun.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Our room attendant was very nice. Half the staff was nice and helpful. The other half were not. Many staff members weren’t able to answer basic questions.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship was clean and maintained. However the ship is outdated.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We enjoyed our room and large balcony. We loved the location. It was close to the elevators and to the stairs 1 flight below the lido deck. You do hear noise in the middle of the night from the lido deck but even me a light sleeper was not bothered by it.

Ship tip

Bring games with you for down time or days when it’s not pool weather. It’s a good trip for groups.

Ports of call

Catalina Island, California

4 out of 5
We enjoyed Catalina. Visit descano beach for a nice cocktail and view.

Ensenada, Mexico

4 out of 5
Not too much to do unless you do excursions. We visited Paps and Beer which was fun and very reasonably priced.
