Review summary

Overall a lovely trip, did not get bored, enjoyed meeting all kinds of people. Food was exceptional in the places that required a cover. Could use a little more variety in the regular dining rooms.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were a little early, but still received excellent service. Only took maybe 15 minutes from the time we arrived at the dock until we were on the ship.

Rachel and zumba were the high point of my at sea days! Great way to start the day. Never saw so many happy people in a bar, cold sober.

Excursion was not worth the money nor my time. Aerial tram ride took about 10 minutes, for a 4 hour bus trip

Colon, Panama

4 out of 5
all I did here was wait to get on the boat, did not see any of the city

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

5 out of 5
The best that we were able to see. Loved the zip line excursion

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
We were unable to visit this port due to weather. I had purchased a coupon book from Suzy Q which only had coupons for this port. Since we didn't get to go, I think this should have been refunded automatically. It was $25

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very organized. No complaints
