Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The dining room services were superb. We did assigned seating and the staff knew all names by the 2nd night. Food presentation was very good including the buffet.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The gym was good. Similar to others looking out the from the treadmills and other exercise machinery. The outside movies were great. They could use service people for evening drinks. This was great way to catch up recent released movies.

Layout was fine. Similar to many other ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We have never done an Inside Cabin before. It was average. A little small. The toilet had mold in the bowl.

Hi cat...if you look at the itineraries you will see that there is a 17 day break from the time the Grand Lady dropped off from her last cruise until she takes on passengers for her next cruise in March...she is now in Portland dry Fock getting her update...but she will return to San Francisco until May of 2020...then she goes to Vancouver and San Francisco gets her sister ship the Star Princess
