We have just returned from the first 10 day Sea of Cortez cruise for the year.

Embarkation in San Diego: extremely quick and easy. NO crowds at all. Doing everything online ahead of time really simplified the process.

Ship condition: very clean at all times. Public rooms as well as private seemed very well maintained. Sanitation issues were well under control. We had one incidence where the toilet backed up...a minor problem...the staff was very quick in their response and fixed the problem without a hitch. We noticed a "sewage" smell shortly afterwards on Navigation deck aft portion of the ship..but we are assuming they did a major "flush" after they checked our toilet...The odor was gone within minutes and other than that cigarette smoke near the casino was the only unpleasant smell we ever noticed. Decor very tasteful throughout the ship. I was looking for the much acclaimed floral displays and although flowers onboard seemed fresh, there was nothing really that noteworthy about them... We loved the design of the ship..very easy to get around. I kept thinking it would take a long time to get from one end to the other but it seemed like it was almost "too easy" to pop up to Lido deck from our cabin, down to the upper promenade and promenade for dining and other activities...up to the Crow's nest for a "look around"... The Crow's nest was never crowded...and was a wonderful place to listen to music at night or to watch the sea..and the WHALES..go by The retractable roof over Lido was absolutely a Godsend...Having gone on 2 other Mexican Riviera cruises without the roof, and having frozen ourselves to death on those "cold days" near Cabo, it was wonderful to have that added protection.
