Review summary
VISITING THE PANAMA CANAL VIA FERRY AND GOING THROUGH 2 LOCKS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP. THE BUS RIDE WAS AWFUL, 4 HOURS TO GET FROM THE SHIP TO THE CANAL FERRY. NO BATHROOMS ON THE BUS. LUNCH ON THE FERRY WAS TERRIBLE. ON THE SHIP'S DINING, THEY ELIMINATED LOBSTER NIGHT AS A USUALLY INCLUDED FREE ENTREE. OTHER THAN THAT, THE FOOD WAS GREAT. SANTA MARTA WAS A LESS THAN DESIRABLE STOP AND SHOULD BE SKIPPED ALTOGETHER. YOU'LL LEARN EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SIMON BOLIVAR AT CARTAGENA WHICH IS A MUCH MORE TOLERABLE DESTINATION.

Ship tip
NEED MORE ORIENTAL DISHES IN THE BUFFET AREA, ADD THE LOBSTER NIGHT BACK IN WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CHARGE AND ADD SHRIMP COCKTAIL TO THE APPETIZERS.
