For a 3/4 day cruise the food was what I would expect.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Loved the comedian and the "musical impersonator" Bryan G.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Cabin attendant gets an "excellent" rating, the rest of the staff was good, friendly, but not necessarily an "above and beyond" quality.

Cabin / Stateroom

Small but clean and well-maintained. Note that there are no in-room safes which are typical on newer ships.

Catalina Island, California

5 out of 5

Rent a golf cart and see more than just the port area. Charming island... hike, bike, stroll. Great seafood and a few non-touristy shops made it a perfect day.
