Review summary

If you get a 'good' deal, this vacation is totally worth it. Once we made it through check-in at long beach (which was chaotic and disorganized) the trip went fine. Relaxing and fun. The food in the dining room was okay, but the buffet seemed better than previous trips. Alcohol was, as always, expensive-- so make sure you find other ways to solve this.
