Review summary

Cruises are a great vacation choice with the floating hotel, all meals, and entertainment at such a reasonable cost and therefore it was a great trip overall.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Long line but to be expected! Lunch was ready on board when we finally got on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Not many vegetarian options and more healthy choices would be appreciated.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fun dance classes and plenty of activities all the time. Enjoyed the fitness center but paying extra for the thermal suite was not always worth it as it seemed oversold and crowded most times. Also the gym and spa staff were constantly trying to sell you something when you arrived there.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Exceptional! The singing and dancing and acting were top rate! Very creative and vibrant shows.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Usually good but when going to dinner late I think the staff was tired so some items were forgotten.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We say folks cleaning constantly.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We didn't mind this interior cabin at all since we were not in there much and the sleeping was great.

Ship tip

Practice patience. With 4000 customers on board there are lines for everything and those that cut lines. Also for elegant nights, not that many people dressed up so that was a disappointment.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Stayed the night before in the retro area which was fun.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

4 out of 5
The snorkeling was poor on the excursion...it should not even be included since we saw 3 fish in murky water. The beach we were brought to was filled with rocks so not good for swimming. However, the rest was terrific, including a buffet on the beach.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
Took a great tour of the city with IRENE...a great guide. See the cliff divers when you are there...amazing!

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
The snorkel to Pelican Rock was amazing...tons of fish!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
This was very unorganized and kept changing which direction to go in and since we docked much later than scheduled, people were anxious and scrambling to get to their flights.
