Review summary

Many aboard called it a cruise from hell. not quite that bad, but never again in winter. catching a cold or covid didn't help. a third of the ship was coughing. Upon getting back to LAX we had to sit on window ledge 2-3 hours due to airline won't check you in beyond 2 hrs and there are no chairs or restaurants in area outside of check in. And of course the bomb threat didn't help.

Bed and pillows were very comfortable. cabin kept very clean by staff. size normal balcony.

Ship tip

take your covid prevention and cold meds along. Sundry shop next to guest services a joke unless you need spirits and tobacco.

Where were the cold temps? Curious since I’ll be on HI cruise in a few weeks. I was thinking only 1st and maybe 2nd sea day.

Blame the airport, not the cruiseline. It's also no secret to not rely on the boat to provide medications. Pools are filled with filtered sea water so blame Mother Nature for that one.
