Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was excellent and the restaurant (Gold Pearl) had an amazing serve table, our friends (waiters) were the best people I encountered at any restaurant I've been. Sheela, Vito and Mahandra, sorry if I misspell any names.

The best thing for us to do was the Punchliner. Had a lot of great laughs in there.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiters (Sheela, Vito and Mahandra) and Don our steward are more than 5 stars like a 5 Diamonds. And of course Leon, the cruise director was the best voice on the ship. Very entertaining and a lot of GOOD energy.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The CASINO....***Smoking*** at the Casino. WORST LAYOUT, need to enclosed the casino like the O2 club, so people that dont smoke can be around deck 5. The only issue I had was when we tried to go to from the front to the back and we had to pass thru deck 5 to get to our restaurant. We had to walk deck 8 all the way to the back and then down to deck 4 to get to our dinner. Not everyone enjoy their lungs filled with smoke. That is the reason why we avoided rear deck 10.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It has a great layout and good size full bathroom, a comfy couch and in our case a big king size bed (2 twin beds together). The view was amazing from our cabin thanks to the great in size balcony, we had coffee every morning looking at the sunrise with the ocean waves sound against the ship.

Ship tip

Take your time and research the ports and activities to do at each one before hand. Time is precious in here and there is a lot to see and do in so little time.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
It was hectic and POOR organized, the had us leave the cabin at 8:30a.m. but the disembarking time started at 9:15 a.m. for the first people, and of course the over 3,200 people wont want to wait. Everyone wants to leave the ship if they are asked to wait outise their cabins and the lobby could not handle the amount of people down there.
