Review summary

We are very familiar with ship, having taken same cruise with and without grandsons several times before. Difficult to find comfortable seating in showroom. Sometimes long wait for elevators, not all seemed to be operating most of the time.

Ports of call

Catalina Island, California

Don't Miss: see above

Bus trip to Bufadoro and shopping area there was worthwhile. Stopped for free margarita, paid for nachos. We always have breakfast and lunch on ship.
Don't Miss: Went on wine trip on earlier cruise and enjoyed that.
