Itinerary: Mexico-Western
A nice 4 day cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada Mexico
She's getting a bit worn. Wall panels and seats in Lido Buffet need to be replaced. The swimming pools have rusty patches. Our bathroom floor had missing/loose tiles. Apparently she is due for a refit later this year. No pool towels
Food was good. Service in the evening was good but was quite poor at other meal times. You now get pressured into tipping on a daily basis via your sail and sign account. However the waiters still expect a cash tip at the end of the cruise which makes you wonder how much of the tip actually gets to them!
Midnight buffet and Captains cocktail were excellent
Large enough for the 5 of us but getting quite a worn look to it.
Shows were very good but I doubt if there is an unobstructed view anywhere in the auditorium because of the supporting pillars.
Plenty of shipboard activities.
You need to be taken to Avalon by Tender. Its very pretty and worth seeing.
Ensenada is a busy Mexican portend quite interesting if you are interested in ships. Shops are more expensive than they are at home
All ages. Mainly from the West Coast particularly the LA area
