Review summary

This was a planned birthday cruise for me. I went with my daughter and we had a blast. The ship is BIG and it was our intention to "USE THE STAIRS EVERY DAY AND NOT USE THE ELEVATORS". Welll....we had to change our plans and give in to the elevator, as the ship is massive. I enjoyed every single thing, and need to go again because I did not yet do the RockClimbingWall, IceSkating or LaserTag.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy peasy embarkation. Line up/enter/sit/wait to be called/dance up the gangway:)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR SERVICE - A1 - top notch. Not a detail missed (including my birthday). I canNOT stop raving about the (addit. pay) lobster tail. Yummo. BUFFET - great display, exciting choices. I have a new favorite INDIAN snack -- papadam! (tastes like Pringles).

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
POOL - fun KARAOKE - my fave WATERSLIDE (2 of us in the "raft") - couldn't stop yelling and laughing.!!!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
ICE SKATING/DRONE SHOW - best I have ever seen. So fabulous to see. DANCE SHOW #1 - unbelievable talent (singing and dancing) on stage. Excellent show! DANCE SHOW #2 - same wonderful talent, differently themed show. GREAT!! PIANO BAR (piano playing gentleman with maroon velvet suit) - so much fun. He is so engaging and calls in the audience members. Can't wait to do it again. KARAOKE -- unbelievable fun. I got up and sang with my daughter. So nervous, but we DID IT!!!

Children's Programs

We were not traveling with children

Small room. Who cares? It was perfect for 2 of us. Plenty of room.

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

I live locally, and hope the upgrades to the port are on track to be completed sooner rather than later. Parking at this port is wonderful.

Ensenada, Mexico

We walked into town, and loved shopping there. Many interesting items.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
As easy as embarkation, but harder now because I did NOT want to leave :(
