The service was incredible.. every person... every time!!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was sparkling clean... cudos to the staff. The ship while a bit dated is well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Everything was great.. only complaint is that the bedside lamps have not been updated with USB ports. On occasion we could hear chairs dragging above from the balcony but was not ab problem at all. Close to the elevator and buffet

Ship tip

Be sure to stay close to the port and experience fisherman's warf. We stayed at holiday Inn express fisherman's warf.. very walkable to the warf.. about 2 blocks and you are at pier 39. Hotel was nice and the price was good for SF

We went into the industrial port and it was crap!!! Had to get av taxi to get to the other side of the island. $200+ be prepared that the pier in the void side has not been repaired thus ships go somewhere that has literally nothing..m and I'm not exaggerating... nothing.

Ensenada, Mexico

3 out of 5
Has improved greatly since our last visit... Seaforth walk was quite nice but still not much to see

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Was fast but we did unassisted walk off and that part was a cluttered mess with Ebro pushing and diving to get off and make flights... ourselves included

True the port at Kahului is industrial, but you have a lot of options
