Our service was excellent. The food was very good. This was our first cruise. The Jazz band was very good as well as the other musical performers. We really did not participate in all the other activities available. We didn't go on any port excursions because we have already gone to Santa Barbara and we had no interest in going to Encinadas. If we were to go on another cruise , I guess my only anxiety would be to go on an excursion and then come back too late and miss our ship. We went on a tour vacation once to Irland and we decided that the daily regimine was not quite our cup of tea. We are more accustomed to flying to destinations and renting a car to sight see or go on road trips. But the experience of being out as sea is quite humbling. We may go again.
Very clean and our Steward was excellent. Cabin shower was a little confining. It would have been better with a hand held shower head.
