The decor is dated but the ship is clean and doesn't look shabby. Ship Details: Ship Quality The public areas were always clean and the ship is very easy to navigate. Dining/Food We 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 Quality The 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 Quality Our waiter and assistant waiter were very professional and our food was served timely and very elegantly. Entertainment & Activities Comedy club was fun. Casino was layed out nicely, but very smokey. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

The Ship, the Staff and the Itinerary, were Aces.... The entertainment and schedule were good choices Ship Details: Ship Quality even though the ship had 3000+ people it was well spread out Dining/Food A+ 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 Quality The 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 & Activities the Dj in the Rex gets two thumbs down, Giant disappointment... Read this user's port of call reviews: Ensenada, Mexico; Catalina Island, California Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Ensenada, Mexico Everything 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, California the weather was great, Snorkeling in Lovers cove, made the trip.... and the water was a cool 69 degrees 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
