Review summary

This is a nice cruise from a great cruise line. It is a large ship so wear comfortable shoes. My only recommendation is do not book an inside room. Spend the extra money and enjoy the views from your deck. As with all ships, the elevators are the biggest problem especially on the first and last day

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Port of Los Angeles is very crowded. Better make sure you have the right bags with you. We found this out the hard way.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Great buffet and dining room. While we had to wait in long lines on other ships, there was no waiting for dining on this one.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Shopping was just average. At least they did not pressure you to buy like other ships.

Room was always clean, waiters were great, and in general staff was very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Nice ship, however I miss having a wide deck on level 5 or so, to walk around the ship or to sit and enjoy the views.

Cabin / Stateroom

New pillows and mattress were excellent. Very clean.

Ship tip

Check out the hot chocolate dispenser in the buffet. Its next to the coffee stations.

Great city views arriving and staying. However, be prepared for a very long walk getting from your room to the street below. Takes about 20 minutes. This needs to be improved on.

Went fast. Took the Canada Line train to the Vancouver airport. Great economy doing so. One suggestion, print out a Google map to make it easier for you.
