Creator's Key Takeaways

I paid for this cruise with my own money.

I was really excited for my first time on a Voyager class ship as this class revolutionized cruise ships when they were introduced.

The two water slides are collectively known as the Perfect Storm. They're named individually. One is a match racer called Riptide, and the other is the Blaster, which is an aqua coaster. These are really good fun.

Honestly, the only thing that lets it down is that the stateaterooms and bathrooms are rather dated. But the rest of the ship, including the service on board, is really great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be aware of the marine layer (fog) on West Coast cruises in late spring and early summer, as it can make outdoor pool areas chilly.
βœ“If you want to rent a cabana, go to the pool bar, Lyman Coconut, to make a booking.
