Had the weather cooperated this cruise would of been a 10 out of 10. However mother nature gave us choppy swells of 15 feet both ways, no sun till Hawaii, and winds gusty to 18 knots.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Boarding in San Pedro was the best ever in all our years of cruising. Drove in from San Diego and within 10 minutes we were in our suite on deck 8
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The service is very good onboard. And the Grill is a dining experience which we were able to book 4 times on this 21 day cruise. The restaurant is the mdr and again the service and food is good, same applies to the Colonnade and Patio. My only complaint was the food is very bland and salt and pepper shakers are full of rice not salt or pepper.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Given the weather the pool was only used a few days. It was a crossing from LA and back. Fitness center is very small, but worked for me every day.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service onboard is always very good.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Sojourn is an older ship, but kept up great. Great cabins, common areas and lots of places to hang out given the cold, windy weather.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin 829, deck 8 directly outside the Patio and pool. Our favorite deck given its location to the fitness center and pool patio area.
Ship tip
Enjoy this first class ship, great service and know that the food is ok not great.
We were here for two days, and NYE on the ship watching fireworks all evening was spectacular. If you are a walker, its a lovely scenic walk to Waikiki.
Wonderful, breakfast at 8 in the Colonnade, walked off the ship at 9, directly to our awaiting driver back to San Diego. Friendly port staff and baggage carriers.
Thanks for sharing. Rice in the salt and pepper shakers is to prevent the salt or pepper from clumping. If there was only rice in them, somebody didn't bother to fill them with salt and pepper.
