I really had a good time. It was an experience of a lifetime.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Fairly quick. Princess Cruise personnel were right there at the baggage claim area at airport in Fort Lauderdale and directed us to the buses to take us to the ship. Walking distances were not too bad. Some might have trouble. Signage might be better
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
I had the anytime dining and used the Island Dining Room. I also ate breakfast at World Marketplace on port days and Salty Dog Grill and pizza grill on lido deck for lunch. International Cafe was for snacks and specialty coffees. Food was great! Ice Cream bar on lido deck was great! I loved the soft serve ice cream in cones or cup topped with chocolate sprinkles!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I liked the destination lectures with Dr. Dean. The movies shown in the Princess theater were very good. I saw Victoria and Abdul, Goodbye Christopher Robin, The Man who brought down Nixon. I went to a culinary demonstration.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Shows were all top-notch! They were all full. I couldn't get into a couple unless I wanted to stand for an hour! You have to get there early. I went to the 8:15 show.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
I can't say enough good about the service. Everyone had a smile on their face. They were always ready to get you what ever you wanted or needed. A+ to them.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship could not have cleaner!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Just the right size for a party of one. Room steward kept it very clean. He had my room clean by the time I got back from breakfast. Showers are tiny.
Hot. I went on the scenic drive of Cartagena and San Pedro Church. Vendors were in your face. Our tour guide was knowledgeable. Traffic was very heavy.
I loved this. It was the highlight watching the ship entering the locks to Gatun Lake. I did an excursion to the new locks and former Canal Zone. At the observation area saw a container ship entering the canal being pulled by a tugboat in front and pushed by a tugboat in back. Fascinating!
