Panama Canal, Central America Cruise Reviews

Please see above for our cruise details for more information.

Overall, we had a very nice time. It was hard because we started out serving ourselves at the buffet but due to a Norovirus that was spreading, by the end of the cruise the staff was serving us (main problem being it caused lines to form). However, it's understandable that they needed to protect everyone as much as possible so I get it. Staff was very friendly about it all, even though it caused all of them a lot of extra work too!

Enjoyed the cruise overall. It was fun but did not enjoy that one excursion was canceled, and we are still trying to get a refund. Several on board activities were canceled without telling folks. We plan our day to do things, and this just left a hole in our schedule. One time we were to have a mini-golf tournament, and the person in charge did not show (later said winds were too high). Four passengers just walked away, but three in my group decided to still do the tournament (even without a crew member to officiate it). We completed it and had a first, second and third place finisher. We were not given the medals for this though (and we were having a family competition to see who could win the most). Still would like to see those medals and give them to our winners. Thank you for reading this- Joel R. Linnabary

Was a great cruise itinerary. One complaint was that they ran out of regular coffee pods for our machine in our stateroom. We had to drink decaf almost the whole last week. Totally unacceptable! On our previous cruise they ran out of half and half for 3-4 days. Very upsetting as milk just doesn’t suffice! NCL needs to make sure that these kinds of items are in stock. People pay a lot of money for a cruise and these kinds of things are important.

Had a great time. Nice ship with a great crew. Food was better than usual.

Never saw so many electric scooters and walkers at one time in my life, many using them acted as though they were entitled to go as they pleased.

Seeing the panama canal was great and very interesting. That is what we wanted to see. The excursions we book not so good. We may look else where when looking for excursions. Do not book a cruise on the SUN.

First time cruisers, start with Norwegian, so you won't be disappointed. We are spoiled by Royal Caribbean. Price is very good.

The trip was in generally relax and comfortable. The foods were excellence excepted that they were generally very salty. The free excursions were o.k. The weather were hot and humid that make it harder to walk around. There are not too much activities on the ship. Not sure what made some people getting stomach problem. Initially, I have some stomach problem for 5 days drinking the ship water but after the Beverage Manager decided to delivery to us the local bottle water, my stomach did do well. This is my first trip on the Silversea and I didn't know that you need to ask the Agent before embark on the ship if you want to have water bottle delivery to your suite. In general, if you want a quite and relax cruise then the Silversea Cruise ship is for you. I have to say the services are 6 stars.

Overall there were a lot of sea days with only a few ports of call. Could have added a Caribbean port to the itinerary for some more interest. Was disappointed when I booked there was an additional Pacific side port of call that was cancelled with no replacement.

I enjoy movies under the stars. My drams have come true doing Panama Canal cruise.

Enjoyed our cruise to Panama. The ship is a good size, not too big and not too small. Lots of great places to sit and people watch or read. The staff went over and above. You can tell that a number of things have been cut back, but still enjoyed our time away.

This was a very enjoyable experience and trip. Carnival Pride was a wonderful ship

Absolutely love the turtle center. The 7 mile beach was so full it was too find a spot to sit. And I wish the driver would let us have more time in Hell because he only gave us about 10 minutes which wasn't long enough

All in all, we had a very nice cruise, met different people when we said we would like to share a table for our dinner meal. Very enjoyable.

Beyond is a fantastic cruise ship. Got a bit crowded with the ship almost certainly fully booked but you can manage the times you want to enter certain venues and find times when crowds aren't a factor

We have been on a number of Celebrity Cruises, but this may be the last. Celebrity used to be an upscale experience, but is only average now. The food and restaurant service has dropped dramatically.

The cruise was amazing start to finish. Captain Kate was Awesome. Shauna the cruise director and Mark and Marc and all the activities made the trip so fun and all the hard working staff it was just GREAT....

Highly recommend Celebrity. We have gone on two 10+ day cruises to the Southern and Eastern Caribbean with them recently and everything is 1st class. Looking forward to next trip!

We enjoyed the cruise and the ports. The ship was beautiful with interesting decor. There was always something for everyone to do whether you wanted to be active or more laid back.
