Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was delicious as always, just wish they would switch things up instead of the same meals

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I didn’t really do any of the activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I guess it was a new crew who did the entertainment and I must say they were fabulous!!! Again tho, especially for ppl who do multiple cruises I wish they would switch it up. Every cruise it’s the same shows. The comedians were amazing!!! One or the things I look forward to

Children's Programs

Don’t have little kids anymore

One of my favorite ships! It def needed some repairs but we loved it!! Unfortunately it’s going to be stationed out of Australia from now on

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We normally get a balcony but decided to try an interior room. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of it, we were expecting it to be really small and it wasn’t. We absolutely loved being on the Lido deck and will prob do that from now on

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California Did not visit port

Just flew in for the cruises

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

4 out of 5
It was nice but nothing spectacular

Mazatlan, Mexico

2 out of 5
Not too much to do here which is why we booked an excursion. Unfortunately the excursion kept changing while we just sat at the resort waiting for a resolution. We finally get a ride back at around 130 so it was too late to do anything at that point

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

4 out of 5
There’s a mall and Walmart rt across from where we docked which was nice. Only problem with these 3 ports was we had to constantly say no thank you...people were constantly coming up either trying to sell something or just asking for money. We did rhythm of the nights which was nice but I didn’t think it was worth the money.
