A lot of time on the boat - rough seas and didn't learn much about the Panama Canal.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
extremely easy - no trouble at all
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food wasn't up to the standard I remember from previous cruises on Carnival and other lines. No free room service anymore. Guy's burgers were what we ate the most - so good!
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Too many games of trivia and nothing else - we spent several days on board because the Costa Rica port was cancelled - I didn't even know a port could be cancelled! Was hoping for more fun activities including learning about the Panama Canal - the pilot talked a little but it was basic. Would have liked to know why the US build the canal - who owns it now - how it works etc.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Musical numbers good but no dancing allowed because of rough seas. Chris Willey was a great comedian - the others just so so. One actually made embarrassing an 11 yr. old boy in the audience his act - it was mean.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone extremely friendly, professional and helpful.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Mostly clean except the base of pillars in the elevator areas
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
Size and cleanliness were fine Unhappy because the temperature was freezing - called three times and nothing changed. A very unpleasant part of the trip - had to be out of the cabin - wrapped in a blanket or on the balcony.
Ship tip
Don't buy the Carnival transfers from ship to airport. They cost $25.99 - right outside the door are shuttles for $10.
very interesting, Too much time though just hanging around the lake after entry. Another ship there had water shuttles to land. Since we didn't stop in Costa Rica is was a long time to do nothing
