Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
No complaint about the food, but we had a witch of a hostess. She would seat us in the one place we told her we didnt like. The little petite chef was cute and delicious.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Definitely need to book the Glass Blowing. No where else will you get this experience

Entertainment

2 out of 5
OMG I hated the entertainment. No music really… drums everywhere. Their main stage singer spent most of her time telling us how great she was.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was awesome (except for that one hostess).

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Layout was functional, We could get around. Cleanliness was beyond reproach, but there were seats at the movies that we couldn’t sit in for more than 15 min. They were painful. There were lots of places that were not open and unused.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was an acceptable size and it was nice to have our first veranda.

Ports of call

San Diego, California

4 out of 5
Well skipped every port but this. The city downtown did not look like San Francisco. Just did a bus tour, not exciting but the parts we saw did not appear scarred.

San Francisco, California

We canceled our excursion here. It was a twilight tour…but had been raining. Just read of all the homelessness and no law and order and decided to skip both days in port.

Santa Barbara, California

3 out of 5
No good excursions but a lovely view from the ship of the coast.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Parked the car where we were supposed to dock…which got changed so was a bit of toss=about but they worked it out well enough.
