Review summary

This was a very relaxing 15 night cruise with only 4 port stops. We thoroughly enjoyed our sea days and would love to do it again!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The port of San Francisco had lots of employees working and we were dropped off and on the ship in a very short time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was average, we had a couple of desserts that were very good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There were lots of activities going on, but we pretty much rested.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Entertainment was good. I loved the young singer from Hawaii and the one from Missouri. The comedian Oscar was very funny!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and working hard.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We have always thought the ships were clean. They were continually cleaning all the frequently touched places.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We loved our cabin location. Very convenient to forward and mid stairs. Plenty of closet space and other storage areas.

Ship tip

If you really want to dine in the dining room each night, be sure to book ahead. We had reservations,but would see a very long line for those who didn’t.

Ports of call

Cartagena, Colombia

4 out of 5
I had read how hot it is in Cartagena, but thought being from the south we would be fine. Let me tell you, it is HOT! The port area is very cool and if we go back here one day, we would be fine with just staying at the port area for a couple hours.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Loved this port and our luxury sailing excursion. Book early if you are there during whale season.

Panama Canal Transit

5 out of 5
Absolutely loved going through the canal!

Puntarenas, Costa Rica

5 out of 5
Pretty place. Our excursion was longer than expected, but you just have to go with it.

San Francisco, California

4 out of 5
Due to flights, we missed all our planned time in SF and will have to visit later.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were off the ship, luggage collected and in the airport line by 10:30.
