Review summary

Overall I do not recommend this cruise unless you just want to sleep and eat.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Longest line I've experienced for a cruise ship! As we got closer the staff were not friendly at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Not enough selections. Had to wait in log lines even to just get an ice cream cone. Drinks were watered down.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

There was only a gym which we did use even tho the treadmills didn’t work 100% they would stop out of nowhere during my run. One day it even said to check motor.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

The comedian show was ok. The deal or no deal was good! Everything else was bad we had to walk out. There wasn’t any amazing shows at all or enough choices.

Children's Programs

No kids

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Way too small but was kept cleaned. Bathroom had a bad smell. I did not like how the room got to Hot and we had it on the coldest feature. We didn’t like that the lights turn on automatically.

Ports of call

San Francisco, California Did not visit port

Go there all the time

Edit: the cabin stewards will knock on your door to make sure you are out of the room by 8:30. They have a lot of work to do before the next passengers come on and it's not easy. Please do not give them a hard time they have a hard enough time as it is

If you have to be out of your cabin by 8:30 they will not on your door they have to get everything done before the next passengers come on at a certain time. If you have a 9:15 walk to get off the ship with your luggage then you have to be out of the cabin by 8:30. Turn around day is the hardest because it's not just what goes around the ship it goes around where the port is where they put the food on where the food and garbage manager has to make sure everything is okay everything is checked it's just not what's happening on the ship it's what's happening off the ship so we can get on the ship. People don't realize what's going on. There has to be a zero count meaning all of the passengers that were on the ship have to leave before the next passengers could come on and it has to be cleared.

Are you always this much of a wet blanket? Maybe just stay home if you're so determined to be miserable.
