Review summary

Fun vacation that we never will forget. We will crusie again, perhaps the same time next year. The issue of smoking inside needs to be resolved. I have not been exposed to that much second hand smoke in years. Our college aged children didn't seem to mind it as much as we did because as they say, "We deal with it in bars all the time." Also, the very last experience - exiting the ship - needs improvement. Those who wished to hand carry their luggage off were told to gather on the second deck at 7:30 AM. There was no order to the lines and some passengers got aggressive if they thought someone did not move to the "back of the line." Problem was, there did not seem to be an obvious "back of the line" as people got off elevbators, came up stairways and simply waited for the people ahead of them to move. No one from the ship was around to try to bring order to the process. And the actual debarkation was delayed almost an hour until 8:30 AM. There was very little communication regarding the holdup and people were getting testy. I actually thought a fight might break out. That's how angry some passengers got.

Great port. Would have preferred to spend more time at the Gatun Lock and a whole lot less time at Portabello

Snorkling was poor. I've had better snorkling in the Florida Keys.
