Omg, the ships stage shows were great. Cruise director Lee was amazing, and always a blast to watch and get the crowd pumped up! Definitely had an amazing experience.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
First off Nisha, Astika, and Kade from the Golden Pearl restaurant were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I can't be more thankful went grateful for their amazing service. They were always making sure we were comfortable and had everything we need. Then our steward Adi, went ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH HIS AMAZING SERVICE. Our room was always top notch, and he always made sure we had ice for our drinks. He definitely was amazing and couldn't be happier that I had the pleasure of meeting him.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and maintained. Everyone was always making sure the messes were cleaned up.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Well we had 4 people in our room so it was a little snug, but manageable. The balcony was amazing to be able to go out on and see the beautiful sunsets and sunrises. The cleanliness of our cabin was absolutely amazing. Adi made sure he left or room looking amazing!

Ship tip

I'd say the more things you experience in the ship the more fun you had! You'll never be bored cuz there is always something to do!

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Well we embarked from this port, so it was fast and easy. Super clean.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Omg, the water was beautiful, we didn't do any excursions from here, but did take a water taxi and he showed us around. Absolutely beautiful, and next time we plan to swim in the beautiful water.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the hop on hop off tour and it was great to get to see the town and hear about all the highlights of the city. Also being able to get off for a little bit and experience the city and then get back on the bus was amazing!

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
We didn't do an excursion here either, but we took a taxi to the beach and hung out there all day! Such an amazing experience and got a great tan!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
I understand everyone is trying to get off the ship, but it got super over crowded and the workers where you get your luggage are extremely rude and some of the workers that are on the sidelines can also be a little rude. Disembarkment was my least favorite of the trip.
