Review summary

We had an awesome trip. The weather was always between 82-88. It was wonderful. There were 5 of us traveling together. We often played cards in the morning or afternoons when nothing was happening. We enjoyed the Solarium often. It was quieter there. Great entertainment. You could be as involved as you wanted to be.

Embarkation

Very easy, we had to wait a few minutes to get on the ship, but not bad!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had some great service in both our room stewards and waiters-mentioned earlier.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is older, but we still had a great time. In the theatre the chairs were more comfortable than some of the bigger ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was about the same size as other cabins, but you are only there to sleep and change clothes. There was plenty of room for two people. Plenty of closet space and drawers.

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

We had stayed at the Double Tree in San Pedro and enjoyed an early morning walk before loading the ship.
