Review summary

Great overall experience. I would recommend updating cabins. Loved the dining room food for dinner, Sabotini's specialty restaurant, and Alfredo's pizza. The buffet was good but catered to Asian food. Entertainment was great. I thought the production shows were particularly good.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We got upgraded to a mini suite because our original rooms mattress was sinking in. We were moved to M428. Only complaint I had was that the sofa bed couch was old and sinking in and the carpet needed to be cleaned.

Ports of call

San Francisco, California Did not visit port

We didn't tour San Francisco because of the cooler temperatures and timing of our travel.

Disappointed that didn't get to see crater because it was raining and cloud covered. Paid a lot of money for a trip up and down. Thought they could have known weather wasn't good and changed or cancelled tour.
