Review summary

I’m not sure if it’s due to Covid, but this experience was about a 2 out of 10 compared to prior cruise experience. The food was low quality and very limited activities on the boat.

Embarkation

Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The food quality was bad at best. Juices watered down, portions skimpy - even at the $38 per person exclusive dining experience. Buffet’s had very limited menu and food was mostly cold.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not much to do.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Limited shows and even worse, limited seating - so if you miss due to space limitations you are out of luck.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were excellent.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Poorly designed - many areas that have no walk through making it difficult to find specific locations.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Comfortable and clean, only issue is the noise level due to neighboring cabins. Could hear their balcony door slamming at all hours.

Ship tip

Lower your expectations from prior cruising and maybe you won’t be disappointed.

Ports of call

Ensenada, Mexico

1 out of 5
Did not do an excursion, instead got off the ship to explore. Nothing close to the port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy.

Sorry to hear you did not have the best cruising experience.

Cruising during Covid requires lowered expectations and flexibility. It’s not the same as previously and may never be exactly the same.
