Sail date: March 08, 2017
The food and service was excellent. I enjoyed the ping-pong tournaments (Great opportunity to meet other players and engage in this activity).but wish they had offered more pickle ball gatherings when we were out to sea. The shows were very good. Wish you would add dance/Zumba classes to work out. Very disappointing movie schedule overall hardly any current movies, plus he repeated romancing the Stone twice and the panama canal history twice in the theater. At least you had DVDs though my DVD player and the DVDs themselves had a lot of problems. Again my cabin service and dining service were outstanding and all the workers on the ship always were and friendly and offering to help.
Cruise tips
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
EnJoyed snorkeling at the far end of the island. However nobody bothered to pick up the horse maneuver at all that entire day so it was a bit disgusting having to walk back amongst that on the beach.
Worthwhile to take excursion to go all the way through the Panama Canal on separate ship
Be sure to try and see as much as you can because you only have a little bit of time here. Great emeralds available here, street dancers very entertaining. Church interesting with visible corpse! (Very unusual) Truly wish we had more time at this port.
Enjoyed the eco-adventure tour, but the Canal cruise was a waste of time. Our tour guide stopped so we could photograph some howler monkeys and three toed sloths in trees which was very cool .
Skip the submarine ride.
We arrived on a Sunday so most of the stores were closed for a shoppers that is very disappointing. The city tour was nice.

Save your money and pass on the excursions and do your own thing and just study options.
