Review summary

It was thanks to Melanie Victor from that "sold" us on a last minute family cruise. Without her guidance and excellent communications, we would not have booked this trip. Overall a good family get together.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
A bit crowded especially in trying to get a correct elevator...a Bit of a Cluster F...but overall good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice size and very comfortable, however, my mother in law's cabin...not so much since she discovered bloodied and not previously cleaned sheets in her bed...!

Ship tip

Be prepared to add $$$ to the quoted price since more items than expected were to be paid for on board. Plus important to tip the staff for good service too.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

4 out of 5

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Did not visit port

Been there already and none of the excursions were of interest

Mazatlan, Mexico Did not visit port

Wasn't interested in this one.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Did not visit port

Enjoyed day on ship instead.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Thanks for the feedback

If you don’t visit the ports, wouldn’t it be less expensive to stay at an all inclusive resort?

Glad your last minute cruise was successful.

There are some good booking agents working for the telephone booking companies. Sounds they travel like we do on the Panorama.
