Review summary

We had a good time and felt relaxed when we left. I was grateful for the hardworking staff that made our time as pleasant as possible. I though the entertainment could have been better. I have been on other cruise lines with a better experience on that. It was my husband's first cruise and he said he had a good time, good food and that he would go on a cruise again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was not exceptional but it was pretty good and there was always a station open somewhere. Long lines and noisy dining areas however were a minus.

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was excellent and tried their best to please you. John was our steward in Cabin 8346 and he was so hard working and polite. the dining staff was always eager to please as well.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
i guess the design was ok the cleanliness was exceptional.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was compact but the three of us were able to stow our belongings adequately and the room was made up and spotlessly cleaned very day. John did an amazing job.

Ship tip

Get a balcony room if you can. It is wonderful to sit and enjoy the peacefulness of your room with a view. Get the onboard chat so you can communicate with your party throughout the day.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

4 out of 5

Catalina Island, California

4 out of 5
I have been to Catalina before and I like it. The beach was cool and overcast so we did not swim but we took the submarine excursion.

Ensenada, Mexico

3 out of 5
I wish we had done an excursion. We walked some through the city and shopped a little bit. It is disheartening to be asked to buy their goods when they are all so needy,
