Good cruise. California is not exotic, but we found many fun activities on shore. Meals and service were first rate.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining superb. Good meals, steak available most nite. No lobster, crab, etc however. Dive-in hot dogs and burgers excellent. Morning buffet crepes and omelets (both made to order) were fabulous.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Only 1 pickleball court, must have reservation. 2 of 3 times I was not able to get one. Still I love pickleball! Tournament games were fine.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
"OK" is a good descriptor. Dancers were actually pretty good, just not my thing.

Service and Staff

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin clean, well maintained, but LOUD noise from BB King club made it hard to sleep before 11:30 pm or so. If you "love the night life" not a problem!

Ship tip

Check noise issue if you are near a club like BB King, or Billboard, etc.

Ports of call

San Diego, California

Santa Barbara, California

Good, but only spent a few hours here (literally). Look to see how long you are in each port. This one was tender, so it cut drastically into our minimal time.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
OK, once we GOT STARTED. Didn't arrive early enough to get our suitcases unloaded in timely fashion. We had an early plane, so it was tight!
