Review summary

This was one of the best cruises I have been on. This was the seventh one this year with five more to go. Being handicapped, this is the only type of vacation I like. Like being around lots of people to talk to from all over the world. The only problem is getting to and from the airport. The company that contracts this is very poor, and should be fired. The ship was very clean and staff went out of their way to help me out. I will go on this ship again.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Piss poor company that is in charge of the buses from airport to the cruise ship is very disorganized. Being handicapped, they could have cared less.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Getting off the cruise ship was very easy. Using the shuttle service to LAX was piss poor. Some people missed flights. Very disorganized and staff were rude. They acted like this was the first time a cruise ship ever came into the port. Next time I will get a cab.
