Review summary

We always enjoy cruising and glad to be back. Even a not so great cruise is still cruising.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Some confusion over the ArriceCAN app.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
M.D. uneven service and food. Buffet not open for dinner. Chef there was good though.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
half the venues were closed not just due to weather.

Entertainment

did not go to shows, not many offered.

Children's Programs

no children

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
room stewards get a 10, waiters on this cruise not so great (everyone was learning), guest services argued with us, left hand didn't know what right hand was doing. Disorganized at best.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Not as clean as expected since they had months to prepare for guests, nor as maintained, things missing, not working etc.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was fine, a few things missing (shower curtain hook, screw in cabinet, squeaky connecting door, clothesline in shower was disgustingly dirty) other than that it was comfortable once they added some padding to the mattress (way too hard for us). Our room stewards were great.

Ship tip

Maybe wait a bit so they can get it together.

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

4 out of 5

Catalina Island, California

5 out of 5
Explored on our own (went miniature golfing at the best course).

San Francisco, California

4 out of 5
Didn't get off the ship, but sail in and out were beautiful.

Victoria, British Columbia

5 out of 5
Rented a car on our own. Beautiful city.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

4 out of 5
Did a back to back and didn't get off the ship.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Didn't disembark here.
