Review summary

A big ship that made us relax and enjoy my wife’s 50th birthday at sea. Loved the sea days to and from Hawaii. Enjoyed the cruise overall and Liza by the pool was great. Pizza by the pool was awesome and we enjoyed watching movies on the big screen. All staff made a effort to make the cruise enjoyable but it’s not a party ship and the food was ok but not amazing. cabins are dated but clean and practical. Hawaii was awesome as were shore excursions and our time in Ensenada was fun as well.

Food was good but not terrific. Buffett was always fresh and offered choices but lacked Asian and salad choices. Main dining room was ok but nothing exciting.

Staff in all areas were always friendly and obliging. cabin staff did their job but not overly interactive.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Lots of spaces to sit and read a book. Bars and pool areas had plenty of chairs. Walk ways were large and never crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

No chair or couch. Bed was good Bathroom tiny Closet space was great Room attendant obliging but not over friendly Tv was old. Walls creaked when seas were rough ( 1 night only)
