Great food in all places. The waiters went out of their way to help.

Many many things to do, even in rainy weather. Seminars were pretty boring but most activities were fun and well worth attending.

Good comics and overall shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward wonderful and always ready to help

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The ship was mostly clean but shabby. Decor extremely dated and scratched and generally gaudy. Parts of our lamp were missing in the room. The carpet dirty throughout the ship. Good thing it is going in for a refit this fall.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Size was comfortable and our steward cleaned up the areas I pointed out on our first day ( after I wiped it all down with Lysol). After that it was very clean.

Ship tip

Enjoy your self and ignore the colors and dated decor

Honolulu, Oahu

5 out of 5
Loved our taxi tour. I could easily spend much more time here.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

5 out of 5
Beautiful and rainy and very tropical. Would go again for longer time to explore.

Hilo, Hawaii Did not visit port

I am using a scooter and could not get off.

Ensenada, Mexico Did not visit port

Husband sick and no taxis available in the port. Our room viewed the port and it was obvious only busing were within a reasonable distance.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and efficient. The best I have ever done( this is my 26th cruise)
