Review summary

The cruise was rather disappointing because we lost a port because the ship broke. I fell twice on one excursion, my husband got sick on the last day. It just didn’t turn out as planned. It also rained for the 2 days we were stuck in San Diego for the repair. The port was canceled and excursions were canceled for the port we did go too. It was a comedy of errors. Oh well

Embarkation

3 out of 5
We had to wait a long time to board after we checked in. There is a big waiting area but I’ve never had to wait like that before on any cruise line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was very good in all food venues. But the buffet has to be served instead of self serve and it took forever to get your food.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We bought the spa package for couples and it was very relaxing but cost way more than it was worth.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The production show was the best I’d ever seen on the first night. But the second one was boring. The other shows were fun and entertaining. The Lincoln Center Stage was amazing but needed a bigger room to hold all the people. They were the best. The clubs were very good too

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Nice but forgot to set room at night once. The muster was very unorganized and passengers were confused. But so was the staff.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship is small but I like small ships. Very fast to get from one end to the other. It was easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a good size room. I thought the tub was interesting but if you were older and had problems moving you could never get in it easily.

Ship tip

Ask for help if you need it. And go see the production show it’s amazing. And so is the Lincoln Center Stage

Ports of call

San Diego, California

4 out of 5
The tour of the town by trolley was interesting and well worth it. It’s a great over view of what is there. The zoo was amazing.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

3 out of 5
The original tour was canceled because we got there too late and there want anything comparable to it. The tour we took was a little disappointing. No whale watch available later in the day.

Mazatlan, Mexico Did not visit port

The ship broke down And we had to stay in San Diego an extra day to fix the ship. So they dropped this port. It was really disappointing.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the camel ride and we loved it. The food was great and we saw whales while we sat outside and ate lunch. This is a great excursion. Our favorite on the cruise.

Disembarkation

Sorry it didn’t all work out but with a cruise you never know what may happen. I hope you don’t get discouraged.
