Creator's Key Takeaways

It was beautifully clean. I thought it was really well-appointed.

The food was always good. I never had a cold serving of anything.

The main thing I'd say is is for a trip of this nature since it's leaving from this area, especially on the West Coast. If you're traveling from the West Coast, staying a night before, not necessary in my opinion.

Beautiful ship, great crew, uh, just a real pleasure.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider taking the first flight of the day if traveling from the West Coast to avoid an overnight stay.
An ocean view cabin is a good alternative to a balcony for budget-conscious travelers.
If you have concerns about service charges, you can visit guest services to discuss them.
