Review summary

We had to skip Catalina which was fine, we went straight to Ensenada for horseback riding. We then had 2 days at sea which were so much fun. Alex the cruise director did such a great job.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The MDR was great, food was always on point.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
So much to do onboard we couldn’t do all that we wanted! The love and marriage game, military appreciation event, and deal or no deal we’re our favorites. The productions put on we’re great as well.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage productions were amazing, my wife loved the Latin music.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiters were always courteous, John our room steward was on point with everything we needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout was easy to figure out after the first day, I just wish fellow cruisers weren’t such slobs! The crew did everything they could to keep up but the amount of people just leaving things everywhere made me upset for the crew.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The balcony was great, the place on the ship was perfect. No craziness going on around us, very peaceful.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Hotels were easy to find, the port was very easy to find and accessible.

Catalina Island, California Did not visit port

Weather stopped us from visiting.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
The horseback riding we booked through this site was great. Just my wife and I were the only ones going on it so we got a very personal experience.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
They let us debark early because of the amount of people in each group. We got off before 0800!
