Review summary

For the first cruise this was fantastic. I know this ship was only 50% capacity but for our first time it was nice. Not sure how I would feel with it being over crowded. So thank you for that.

Embarkation

Aside from being detained, my error, great.

Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We didn't do a lot of on board activities. We were just trying to find our way around.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the music was great, we really enjoyed the "Soul bound" show the last night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Ady was great. He made sure Patty had ice every day and was there when we needed anything. Shane and Sasha, are the sweetest women. They laughed and paid close details to our stories, and when we saw them again. They new us by name and remembered the stories. Melissa, what a bundle of joy. She listened and engaged in conversations. Was able to answer questions. She made fabulous drinks. Teo and Sam. We met them the last night. Not sure why we waited so long. They made outstanding drinks. Told us about the club to be in and we were accepted.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is designed ok, for a ship. Not sure, this is my first time. It did take me three days to figure things out. But now I know, and the cleanliness. That was nice to see people taking pride, not just in their work but work place. The staff honesty paid attention to the smallest details of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Overall the cabin was very comfortable. Lots of storage, lots of room for two messy women.

Ship tip

Get the drink package and don't buy extra water.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
We have friends there, so we were able to see more of the city.

Catalina Island, California

5 out of 5
We wanted to do an excursion but paying cash was not an option for us. Next time we will know to bring it along.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
Excellent!! We went on the Tequila tasting/Taste of Mexico. What a wonderful group of people.

Disembarkation
