Review summary

Overall pretty good and would do it again! The cruise director seemed a little dry as if he was new. Wasn’t a big deal for me but the over air announcements didn’t get me excited to do anything. He seemed a bit better in person when trying to get the crowd going. I have had some pretty top notch CD’s in the past.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

More juice options during the day would’ve been appreciated. There was only iced tea and lemonade which I wasn’t a fan of. The POMG juice was good.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

I had 3 kids (5, 7, 8) in there and they all loved it. The oldest much preferred Kid’s Choice activities because that meant video games opportunities. The younger 2 came back with a craft or something everyday!

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Except for a stall, which may have been due to a medical emergency, debarkation was pretty good. They used facial recognition for the immigration step rather than waiting for an officer. The line for those who didn’t use their passport was much longer/slower. My family of 6 was through the checkpoint in 15 seconds.
