Monarch of the Seas

4 Night Baja Mexico (Los Angeles Roundtrip)

Sail date: November 27, 2006

Ship: Monarch of the Seas

Cabin type: Balcony

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

We have cruised the Monarch of the Seas several times. The ship is always in order and well organized. Embarking and debarking very smooth. The food is generally good. It must be difficult to prepare food consistently for so many passengers. I find the charges for wine a bit off-putting. Charging $30 for a bottle of Woodbridge ( a third tier wine in my opinion) is not on. If they are going to charge that price perhaps they should invest in a $10 bottle rather than a $5 one. By the glass the prices are ok. They are similar to prices paid on land, if not a bit higher.

Ports of call

Ensenada, Mexico

3 out of 5

Ensenada.. Some say "Nada". I think it is enjoyable enough and it appears they have gone a long way in improving the downtown area.

Don't Miss: Hussongs is worth a visit.

San Diego, California

3 out of 5

I go to San Diego regularly. Just another City to me. I do like the La Jolla area.

Catalina Island, California

3 out of 5

Catalina is very approachabel with lots of friendly people.

Don't Miss: Do a golf cart rental if you haven't been there before.
