Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main buffet’s food selection was diverse for all meals, and of course delicious! The vista dining room’s food was incredible. And so was the wait time for said food. Around 20-30 minutes.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Not much to do for someone my age. Though what was there was splendid.

High Score!

5 out of 5

Great place to hang out at.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Friendly and willing to help in any way they can. Felt like family.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout was easy to navigate, and easy to get the hang of. Common areas were always clean and looked brand new.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Small, but had all the necessities a cabin should have. Big enough to fit 3.

Ship tip

Eat at all of the venues!

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Lots of natural beauty. Would love to stay a few days here.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
By far the best port of call during the entire cruise. A mix of a beautiful city surrounded by natural beauty makes for a great time ashore.

Mazatlan, Mexico

4 out of 5
Mostly slums outside of the port, but had a well managed port and terminal.

San Diego, California

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and painless.

Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve seen a few negative reviews with one review were saying it was horrible and she would never cruise with this Cruise Line again. I’m not sure how some people seem to find a way to be miserable on the cruise, but apparently some are just looking for anything they can find to complain about.

So glad you enjoyed, we are taking this one on the Oosterdam end of February and are so ready to go.
