Review summary

Beautiful ship, great entertainment, excellent service, I can't complain. I purchased the premium internet package because I was in the middle of studying for my MBA and no issues. Highly recommend it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Extremely quick and efficient process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Only tried the buffet once and it was ok. The food in the main dining room food was good but the service was top notch. Service is important for me and therefore the extra star.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The water slides were fun, the sky ride was an experience. Overall I would say 3-4 stars for the activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great onboard entertainment. Never a dull moment. I especially liked the standup comedy. The 11:30P Adult only show is a must at the liquid lounge

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
The ship did have a children's program, the ocean club for the younger kids and circle c for the pre-teens. My kids didn't really like it because it was not very organized. Not sure if this is due to the pandemic and they never really had a chance to straighten out the kinks.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
No complains. Top notch. I asked for a glass wine glass and the stewart ran up to the 5th deck to get me proper wine glasses. He then hunted me down to give them to me. Kudos.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship. In all fairness, the ship's maiden voyage was Dec 2019 and then it was docked during the pandemic. We embarked in 2022. No complaints.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good size, clean, good amenities. Would definitely book the same cabins.

Ship tip

Take advantage of the main dining room. The food is good but the service is amazing. Also book an excursion for Puerto Vallarta, and definitely wake up early to take advantage of Cabos San Lucas.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

4 out of 5

Mazatlan, Mexico

3 out of 5

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Only complaint is the port time was too short.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
If you have all your luggage with you disembarking is a cinch.
