Embarkation

5 out of 5

No problems at all. The best and most organized from any past cruises

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I love the dining plan. No big formal dining room with specific times. Several smaller restaurants that you can eat at when you want. We ate at two specialty dining restaurants and they were delicious. You never go hungry on this cruise and don’t have to ask for multiple dinners like on other cruise lines because you are given plenty of food from the beginning

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We used the spa for facial and massage. That was a little disappointing because there were very little facilities such as jacuzzi or relaxing area. However there is plenty to do for kids.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Ship tip

Do not miss the observation deck. We did not discover it until the 3rd day. You will be impressed

San Francisco, California

5 out of 5

I love San Francisco and we were able to visit Fisherman’s Wharf and China Town by foot. We didn’t do excursions because we used to live in CA and knew exactly where we wanted to go.
