Review summary

I would love to take this ship again. I woukd do the same trip, but I hope to take the Hawaii trip on this ship in the future

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was able to get on pretty easy, lots of people to explain where to go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was always good. The main dining room staff, Putu, I Wayan, Christian, Dian, and Seaful where amazing. They knew our names, remembered our preferences, laughed with us and where great dancers. Lol. I looked forward to seeing them every day.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The pool was way to cold to enjoy. The hot tubs where nice, but coukd have been warmer. I liked the track. I walked around it a few times. I didn't do much else.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I went to the sail away party, the motown classics, musical trivia, one of the comedy shows, legends of rock. My nephew enjoyed the night club, swimming, the slides, karaoke, and the dive in movies.

Children's Programs

Mu nephew came along, but is 18

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Again the wait staff was amazing. Putu, I Wayan, Christian, Dian, and Seaful anticipated the needs of our family. The staff of the ship was very accommodating of my father who has a hard time walking. The cleaning crew kept my room spotless. They where kind and helpful when I needed laundry service. Found my favorite bar tender on the last day. Though all of the bar tenders where great, Nikola was a cut above the rest. He was fun to watch, remembered several orders in a row, and every creation was a masterpiece.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The staff was always cleaning and working on general upkeep of the area they worked in

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I'd say it worked. I'm a large adult, and felt I had plenty of space. I like all the hangers in the closet.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California Did not visit port

We took the shuttle directly to the ship

Catalina Island, California

5 out of 5
I would like to spend more time there in the future. We took an excursion to see seals. The staff helped my dad board and debark. We spent plenty of time looking at wildlife and even saw dolphin. I loved it

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the top 10. Lydia's did have amazing tacos. The blowhole was cool. The staff brought dad's rented scooter with us everywhere. I don't care for how pushy and dishonest the vendors are in mexico

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
They made it so easy. We git a porter to help with bags, and he just directed us where we needed to go
