Not my favorite cruise, but satisfactory.

a frequent traveler, frequent-cruiser, lover of cruises, appreciative of good service, noticing the details, a cruise addict

Pros

inexpensive for short getaway, Dining room staff is excellent, San Deigo & Catalina are awesome stops

Cons

very small rooms-not for claustrophobic, extra charges for Ben & Jerry's, extra charges for coffee shop, no announcements of arrival in port

We booked this cruise in California as a short getaway before visiting with friends. Having cruised many times before, I had certain expectations. Some of these were met and others were not. The buffet restaurant near the pool had lots of stations and no direction. I went to two or three stations only to find the same food at each one.

The ports on this trip (San Diego, Catalina Island & Ensenada) were very nice. We are planning to visist San Diego again, we couldn't get enough.

For the price, this cruise wasn't bad. I am willing to pay more though, to travel on our preferred cruise line, as the service there is exceptional.
