Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dining room was great. The buffet, in my opinion was a MAJOR disappointment. This is my 4th cruise and the food served was not appetizing and the seating area, mainly the booths seats were filthy!! Stained, ripped and food stuck to them.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We had our toddlers and teenager with us on this trip. Teenager didn’t really have much to do. A better arcade would be ideal. The toddlers had a blast. We did thing 1 & 2 bday breakfast, build a bear, Camp Ocean, story time with Dr Seuss.

Our 2 & 3 year old had a great time! The ladies on camp Ocean were SO kind and sweet with our girls. They really made us feel comfortable that they were being taken care of.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The ship personnel were extraordinary people! Our cabin stewards was very tentative. There was also another steward that cleaned rooms next to our by the elevator that became a friendly face. Our girls would always stop to talk to her and she was so SO sweet. I wish I wrote down her name. Loved her. Also, our dinning room waiters, Marvin, Mario, and Antoinette! Amazing service!!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The design was okay… limelight lounge was impossible to find without walking through that floors dining room area. Buffets seating is worn out and dirty! Our cabin was well put together with clean sheets and towels but, I took time to really wipe everything down. The ladder provided to go up to the top bunk bed was absolutely disgusting. Looks like it has never been wiped down. I mean my towelette was black when I was down. I can only imagine how nasty the carpet actually is..

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was a good size. Wish there was somewhere to store suit cases. There was a trundle bed under our bed so we could store luggage out of the way. For the most part the room was clean. Just minor details needed to be wiped down.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This is my 4th cruise and this disembarkation was the easiest and fastest I have ever experienced. Having to check out of the room by 8:30 kinda sucks.
