We had a very nice time on the Christmas cruise with lots of holiday activities and entertainment. I especially enjoyed the gingerbread house decorating competition since my team, the Gingersnaps came in third out of 41 entries.
Our cruise left two days late due to extra drydock time in Portland after a problem that it had leaving Hawaii on the previous cruise. We were generously compensated for the loss of two days and two ports. Sorry to miss Puerto Valletta and Manzanillo, but we did enjoy Cabo, Matzalan and Ensenada.
The ship was full with many multigenerational families and a total of 420 children on board.

Cabin BA
Our cabin was a comfortable size for two people, large mirrors and light colors make it feel more spacious. The mattress and bed linens were superb, all new this cruise, after dry dock.
There is a desk, chair, small cocktail table and an armchair, no sofa. Minibar for chilling wine and water, it's not stocked with liquor which we usually ask to have removed to make room.
The bathroom is small, but functional. The closet is small but was ok for us, enough shelf space and drawers to hold our belongings. The balcony has two chairs and a table.
We had a very hard working, friendly steward, Marcial, who took good care of us.
The carpets in the halls and public rooms were just replaced as was some of the upholstery in the public rooms, everything looked freshly cleaned and painted.
Overall the ship looks quite well for her age. It's very well maintained and cleaned daily.
