Review summary

We were so happy to be on the cruise as this had been in the works since before Covid. Cruising off the West coast is very different from the Caribbean. I have to say that I prefer the warmer air and warmer water of the Caribbean. The Pacific is beautiful in a very different way. The cruise itself was very relaxing. It was at about 50% capacity, so there were no lines anywhere. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The ship was very clean. Overall, we enjoyed the cruise and we’re happy to be cruising again.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food wasn’t as good as it has been in the past, it that is understandable because they cannot always get all the ingredients that they need. The cooks are doing the best they can. The servers were amazing!

The diving was great! On the way out to the Marietta’s, we saw no less than 20 whales. The dive masters were informative and showed us many different fish, sea urchins, etc.
