Sad i’ve been on cruises before seven day cruises. Were you have professional chefs people that knew what they were doing cooking the food this was sad.

When I asked a way to clean a table, she made me wait. I literally asked her can I have the Tao I clean it myself. It was almost as if they didn’t understand me, but English is local most everyone understands English.

Ship Quality

I thought the design and the cleaning this was OK. Other than there was a problem where somebody got in the elevator and busted. The waterline are probably hit the fire line and so the elevators ended up getting shut down.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The comfort size I thought was wonderful I understand I’ve been on cruises in the past, so this was not my first experience it was kept clean. The only thing I didn’t care for is an hour last night. I we looked out of our balcony, and I noticed that someone left a beer can under one of the seats on the balcony and I do appreciate that because we don’t drink beer and I just thought God OK so you went out there to clean the patio or maybe clean the room and you decide if you want to have a beer fine but shoot you take your trash with you and not leave it for us to see

Ship tip

The gravity it’s you want to give these people a tip but you don’t give them a tip because you’re already gone over charges for a tip it’s unreal that every time you ask for something you’re being charged a tip so every time I order coffee to my room I was charged and I wanted to give them a tip. It would be nice if you can make it so that we can do that on our own.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Catalina Island, California

5 out of 5
We didn’t do an excursion on Catalina because we’ve been there many times we just walked and shopped and we did enjoy our self in on Catalina. It would’ve been nice if we could’ve stayed a little bit longer.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
We went downtown shopping and we ate and went to the bar. Unfortunately I believe I got sick from eating there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I thought it was fine. It was organized. Yes I understand that. It’s a lot of standing and waiting because like I said, I have done this before.

As a former Santa Monica resident, I can confirm Gray May and June Gloom are real. Sorry it was hazy for your trip.
