   My family vacation by
Greg B. from Saint Petersburg, Fl. Sailing date: Sep 2012Pros: The service Igor in the dinner dining room was OUTSTANDING. Cons: I had to come back home to go to work. Everything is very planned if you would like to participate,and if you want to just walk around and take it easy there are plenty of places to do so. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodIgor did an OUTSTANDING job taking care of us. There is nothing we waited or wanted for, he was right there. On top of that the food is fantastic. The support staff that Igor had did a very good job as well. Stateroom Quality

Fun birthday cruise by
Karen T from Winter Garden, FL Sailing date: Jan 2012Pros: Food was delicious Cons: Same old shipboard games We loved everything about the ship. The decor is dated but the ship is clean and doesn't look shabby. Ship QualityThe public areas were always clean and the ship is very easy to navigate. Dining/FoodWe loved the food. The food in the main dining room was always very good. The specialty buffets were great. The choices for a four day cruise were more than we could try. Stateroom QualityThe cabin was small but was very clean. The bathroom had been updated and was one of the best we have had on a cruise ship. Ship Staff QualityOur waiter and assistant waiter were very professional and our food was served timely and very elegantly. Entertainment & ActivitiesComedy club was fun. Casino was layed out nicely, but very smokey. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Best Experience & value for the money ! by
Joe Anthony Bounaugurio from Menifee, ca Sailing date: Sep 2011Pros: Most everything on the cruise,met or exceeded our expectations Cons: The Dj for the Rex was two thumbs downs...Yuchh.... The Ship, the Staff and the Itinerary, were Aces....
The entertainment and schedule were good choices Ship Qualityeven though the ship had 3000+ people it was well spread out Dining/FoodA+ food selection and quality, the Beef Brisket & Lobster night was the Bomb... Can I say bomb, Ohh Yes after all this is, not a plane right? Stateroom Quality
Ship Staff QualityThe Entire staff was friendly and very cheerful, the staff we spent the most time with was the dining staff and they made every night a delight. Thank you..!!! Entertainment & Activitiesthe Dj in the Rex gets two thumbs down, Giant disappointment...

Ensenada, MexicoEverything was great, my only complaint was the courtesy shuttle service had two different companies, one stopped on the lower end of town allowing you to visit the shops, the second shuttle first off charged you for a two way trip and gave you bus transfers then took you to the furthest point from the ship and dropped you off at some
captured destination so you can be pre-solicited. Also Mango Mango prices were way out of liine, they were charging what carnival was sinking you for.
Don't Miss: you don't want to miss the return shuttle before the boat leaves...LOL Catalina Island, Californiathe weather was great, Snorkeling in Lovers cove, made the trip.... and the water was a cool 69 degrees

Don't Miss: The blowhole and the horse backriding tours. Amazing! Catalina Island, CaliforniaDon't Miss: Rent a golf cart and drive around the island. You cannot get lost and the sites you see from the top of the island are breathtaking. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

May R. from Palmdale, CA Sailing date: Jul 2011Pros: service Cons: expense of alcohol From the minute we boarded the ship until debarkation, we were impressed wth the service and friendliness of the crew. there was something to do every minute of the day. i don't think that we ever had time to be bored. we had our 9-year-old daughter with us who had the same great time in camp carnival.

Ensenada, MexicoLabufadora (blow hole) was interesting and we had a great tour guide (Leslie). The vendors on the walk down and back up were a little pushy but that is what you expect in Mexico.

Exceptional cruise by
Kathrine K. from Rosamond, California Sailing date: Apr 2011Pros: The staff, the food and the shows Cons: ran out of ping pong balls the second day of the cruise! The ship was clean and inviting. The layout was easy to navigate and the staff was exceptional! Ship QualityWe loved the ship..it was big, yet easy to navigate! One thing my son mentioned was why there were no garbage cans anywhere to be found outside of our room/bathroom Dining/FoodThe chocolate meltaway cake was everything it was made out to be. The food was delicious! Stateroom QualityWe thought it was going to be cramped..but although small..we had plenty of room! Ship Staff QualityThis is one of the things thatmade our trip..the staff was so knowledable and thoughtful! We especially liked Joey and Amy..they were fun and so cheerful all the time. Our waiter in the dining room was very prompt and helpful Entertainment & ActivitiesWe loved the comedian Seth..what a hoot, The love game was so funny and we loved all the trivia activities 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.
