Onboard Activities

I loved the race track ,, so much fun. the line was long and it did move fast, I would suggest making a reservation ahead to avoid the lines.

Entertainment

Footloose was so good. I felt so lucky I was able to see it onboard. reservations are a must to get in the theater was packed

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
everyone on board was terrific. the crew all have smiling faces and really seem to enjoy what they do. They really made the cruise a lot of fun. The bartenders on board all work so hard. In the local, they would sing and dance to keep everyone happy and laughing while they served the drinks

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
the ship was very clean,, the cabin was spotless, I had a great attendent, and the public areas even the restroom by the pool was constantly checked and clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
the room was laid out well, clean and comfortable, I especially liked the big storage draws under the sofa, great for suitcase storage, there was also room under the bed. I liked that the bathroom had an under sink cabinet, so my supplies were out of site and not strewn everywhere.

Ship tip

make sure you pre reserve entertainment and dining , and activities so you don't spend your cruise waiting in line.

Ports of call

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
taxi to LAX was $75.00 I was lucky enough that traffic was not terrible,,, but the taxi driver mentioned the fare is usually around $90 so a prearranged transfer might save you money
