Review summary

Cruise was very good. 4 days at sea allowed for relaxing in the sun by the pool or other on board activities. Not being in a port everyday provided days to sleep late and not have to rush in the morning to get to breakfast and then leave for an excursion.

Thumbs Up 6

Cartagena, Colombia

4 out of 5

Excursion to see city highlights was fun but traffic was bad which meant half the time was spent on a bus.

Thumbs Up 1

Colon, Panama

4 out of 5

Tour to Panama canal was good but little to do at the port itself.

Thumbs Up 1

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

4 out of 5

Rain forest tour was good but nothing worth doing in the port area.

Thumbs Up 1

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

Port area is designed just for cruise ships. Plenty to do, dolphins, pool, food, shop. No excursion done here, just a relaxing day onshore.

Thumbs Up 3

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

Snorkeling was very good. Shopping in town is abundant.

Thumbs Up 8

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

The $25 per person luggage valet service was well worth the cost. No collecting or schlepping suitcases through customs or to the airport.
