Review summary

I thought the onboard photographs were beautiful. But they were too expensive. $25 dollars each or $249 for everything. A lot of photos were left over. I would have bought a couple if there was some kind of special of 6 for $100.0, or something similar. In the end, I did not buy any pictures.

Entertainment

There was a lot of variety. Found the nightclub on a sail away night and it was only open to Elite sailors. That was disappointing. on other cruise ships I had enjoyed an upper deck lounge.

I liked being on the Riverira deck. I just had to walk up one flight to the Horizon Buffet!

Tour to Cannon Beach was lovely, I didn't need to go to Seaside, it was boring.

San Francisco, California

5 out of 5
Loved it! it was so easy to walk off and enjoy the city without paying for a tour! So much to see. I would have liked to have time to bike the Golden Gate Bridge.

Santa Barbara, California

3 out of 5
Solvang was okay. Long drive there and back. I wished I had just walked off and explore Santa Barbara on my own.

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

3 out of 5
Long beach felt like I was just killing time for my flight. Next time, I will just transfer to the airport at an earlier time.
