I didn't use the main dining rooms. I just ate at Shaq chicken shack, Guy's burgers, and the buffet.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All service staff were great.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The design wasn't the best, confusing at times trying to figure out which way is forward, and which is aft. Some floors you couldn't pass through on, you had to go up and over to get to the other side. The ship was overall clean throughout.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was overall comfortable for a single person.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Easy drop off and pickup.

Catalina Island, California

4 out of 5
Nice little walking town, you could rent a golf cart to tour the island if you like, but there isn't much to see.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
Didn't see much of Ensenada, I did the beer and tequila tasting tour.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
luggage pickup and customs was a breeze.
