Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Excellent food everywhere. If any dissapointment, it would be the hotdogs. Salty dog gastropub was tried. $14.99 for 2 people. Appetizer,entry,and dessert. Very good.

Dining Room

5 out of 5

Fidel and Paul took good care of us. We requested the same table each night. Food was good. Fidel offered suggestions and he was spot on everytime.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Shows were good. Unlike some cruise ships, not a blocked view in the theater. Comedy and game shows were good as well.

Entertainment

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Delay getting off. Not ships fault. City of San Francisco was the problem. Once started, moved efficiently to specific areas and let each group off. No winding group of people forming a snake line.

We ate in the main dining room once for twice. Maybe they hardly had anything for people to eat if they didn't like any of that food. I really didn't think it was fair that there was nothing at all. That was just plain and enjoyable to eat.

We were on that sailing as well and we had a great time. The only thing the food in the main dining room we couldn't even eat because there was nothing to eat. Santa B, we took a tour of the court house and took a private tour for Los Angeles & it was great. San Diego met a friend and had a great time touring us around and went to the SD seaport. MX we went on an excursion through the ship of course. Learned about MX & then on to where the blow hole was. We had time on our own. It was fantastic.
