Review summary

A half hour before sailing, we get a notice to come down to security. Apparently they thought they saw a power strip in my hub’s suitcase so we opened the suitcase up in front of the nice man, and went through everything. We all think it appeared hub’s razor cord and razor next to one another looked like a power cord with surge protection. We thanked him. We are laughing about this all now (and were sort of when it was happening). Ensenada was cool and San Francisco was chilly but clear during the day. Hubs and I took a long walk and then met our friends for lunch and then went to Ghirardelli Square. Upon returning to the port, I kept setting off the metal detector so the nice lady used the wand and we identified every metal item on my body. We all had fun with that, including the security agents. Ship time was spent with our friends, new friends, friends met on previous cruises and chatting with the crew, especially crew from our cruise last month.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was super easy. Barely sat down before we were called to board. After boarding, we checked in at our muster station and went to our room to watch the muster drill.

Staff is excellent. Wonderful service in Alfredo’s. Very nice cabin steward.

Disembarkation

Disembarkation was so easy since we had to go through immigration in San Francisco due to port swap.

So nice you made it fun. So many times people go off on every little thing when they are just doing their jobs the best they can. Thumbs up!
