The tours booked thru were much more enjoyable than the Ship's tours primarily because we were the only passengers save one with 2 others - so a private tour! Pick up was easy, returns were on schedule, and the guides were all excellent!

Ship Quality

Christmas decorations were tastefully done and didn't disrupt the traffic flow. New Years party was a blast!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin changed to 8155. It was great to have the veranda. The room, while small, wasn't cramped and - as we didn't spend much time in it, met our needs.
Ship tip
Be prepared to relax and have an enjoyable vacation!
Port was very well run. The tour guide, Brain, while a bit young, was enjoyable and the driver, Johanna did an excellent job getting us ack to the ship on time.
Changed our opinion 180 degrees! Great to have an overnight stay in port. We'd not done that before and it was fantastic to stay in town and enjoy the city at night! Benny, the tour guide, was great an set us up with a cab and local dinner restaurant before leaving for the night.
The second day we took a walking tour with Neva and it went very well! Very little repeat from he prior day's tour and when she found out what we'd done earlier, she adjusted things and took us to all new places from then on.
We took the Panama canal engineering tour and it was amazing! The bus was comfortable, the canal awe inspiring, and the tour guide, Nidia (Bus #5 if I spelled it incorrectly), was very well versed and her English was great!
The port was clean and well laid out. Tour guide, Jesus ,and driver Eugenio, were wonderful. When confronted with a crowded venues they adjusted things and took us to different locations with lots of wildlife and a brief run to Puerto Viejo, which I've been reading about for years....great time!
As mentioned above, due to COVID protocols the process was slower than what is usual I presume. We were one of the last to process thru so it went fairly quickly for us.
