Embarkation

Was stuck at pier for 25 hours after embarkment was suppose to be due to engine problems.

They were amazing and fun to watch. I really enjoyed #Groove6.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All the staff on the ship were extremely nice and went out of their way to make you feel special every day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was clean all over. I think the decor of the ship is outdated but it is going for a makeover in a couple months.

Cabin / Stateroom

Large cabin with a beautiful deck that was port side in Cabo.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5

We did the all inclusive adult beach resort and it was beautiful. The water and weather were perfect. We also did a lot of shopping. We will be visiting Cabo again. The only downside is we lost 2 hours at this port because of sitting at Long Beach for 25 hours.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

We did the Sea Lion excursion which was amazing! I loved every moment of it! The rest of the city looked worn down and their wasn’t much next to the pier to do.
