Review summary

This was a wonderful cruise. Our agent, April Blais, did a marvelous job setting up our trip. Although the ship, Century, is showing her age, the staff and crew were outstanding. The Panama Canal itself was fascinating and not to be missed.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Disappointed in the overall quality and care of the ship in general; frayed carpets, chipped wood, stained furniture, balcony furniture old , deck furniture needed "whitening" etc. That said, the ship was always clean and staff more than helpful w/ any complaint.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Always clean but the rooms are worn and outdated.

Ship tip

The size of the Century is perfect. This cruise had an older population possibly due to the Panama Canal destination. We had a 7:00 pm Select Dining reservation every evening and it was ideal for catching the 9:00 show. Our meals were outstanding.
